While bacteria can grow biofilms on any surface, researcher Gross found that microplastics supercharged this process. When ...

The biofilm allows the micro-organisms to adhere to any surface, living or nonliving. The adaptive and genetic changes of the micro-organisms within the biofilm make them resistant to all known ...

Bacteria permeate virtually every corner of the Earth. Most bacteria live in a biofilm state to enhance their survival and propagation, and to perform essential tasks for many ecosystems.

Hungarian researchers have discovered unique bacterial communities in thermal waters that may help unravel the development of stromatolites, one of Earth's oldest rock formations. These findings not ...

The researchers will immerse plastic films in freshwater samples (taken from a canal in Lowell) and expose them to ...

A recent study published in npj | Biofilms and Microbiomes explored biofilm maturation and dispersal dynamics in Bacillus subtilis using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy.

Following is a transcript of the video. Faye Donald: Today, I'm going to show you how guided biofilm therapy, or GBT, works when we professionally clean a patient's mouth from start to finish.

While some bacteria do naturally exist in this individual ‘planktonic’ state, most bacteria mimic multicellular life, forming a community connected by a biofilm. These slime-like, three ...

Returned to Earth 2022. Biofilm growth has been observed in Soviet/Russian (Salyuts and Mir), American (Skylab), and International (ISS) Space Stations, sometimes jeopardizing key equipment like ...

Toothpaste plays a key role in oral health by breaking up bacterial biofilm, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. While some ingredients may affect the oral microbiome, research suggests ...

Overview: One particular antiseptic solution tops list for effectiveness against methicillin-sensitive S. aureus and E. coli.
