Bacterial biofilms are often defined as communities of surface-attached bacteria and are
typically depicted with a classic mushroom-shaped structure characteristic of Pseudomonas …

The formation of microbial biofilms enables single planktonic cells to assume a multicellular
mode of growth. During dispersion, the final step of the biofilm life cycle, single cells egress …

Abstract Micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are a growing threat to environmental health as
these particles are dispersed to remote locations. However, the migration process of NPs …

Microbial communities often display region-specific properties, which give rise to complex
interactions and emergent behaviors that are critical to the homeostasis and stress response …

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 …

In vitro biofilms are communities of microbes with unique features compared to individual
cells. Biofilms are commonly characterized by physical traits like size, adhesion, and a …

Bacteria have evolved a variety of signal transduction mechanisms that generate different
outputs in response to external stimuli. Chemosensory pathways are widespread in bacteria …

Bacterial biofilm represents a multicellular community embedded within an extracellular
matrix attached to a surface. This lifestyle confers to bacterial cells protection against hostile …

Aggregating and forming biofilms on biotic or abiotic surfaces are ubiquitous bacterial
behaviors under various conditions. In clinical settings, persistent presence of biofilms …

Despite advanced implant sterilization and aseptic surgical techniques, implant-associated
infection remains a major challenge for orthopedic surgeries. The subject of bacterial …
