Abstract The Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are attributable to matrix-enclosed
aggregates known as biofilms. Biofilms are root cause of industrial biofouling and …

Bacterial biofilms are complex surface attached communities of bacteria held together by
self-produced polymer matrixs mainly composed of polysaccharides, secreted proteins, and …

Biofilm-mediated bioremediation is an attractive approach for the elimination of
environmental pollutants, because of its wide adaptability, biomass, and excellent capacity …

A biofilm is an interface-associated colloidal dispersion of bacterial cells and excreted
polymers in which microorganisms find protection from their environment. Successful …

Notably, bacterial biofilm formation is increasingly recognized as a passive virulence factor
facilitating many infectious disease processes. In this review we will focus on bacterial …

Surface-attached bacterial biofilms are self-replicating active liquid crystals and the
dominant form of bacterial life on Earth,,–. In conventional liquid crystals and solid-state …

Biofilms are a widely observed growth mode in which microbial communities are spatially
structured and embedded in a polymeric extracellular matrix. Here, we focus on the model …

The cellular morphology and sub-cellular spatial structure critically influence the function of
microbial cells. Similarly, the spatial arrangement of genotypes and phenotypes in microbial …

Biofilms are extremely difficult to eradicate due to their decreased antibiotic susceptibility.
Inducing biofilm dispersion could be a potential strategy to help combat biofilm-related …

During development, organisms acquire three-dimensional (3D) shapes with important
physiological consequences. While basic mechanisms underlying morphogenesis are …
