Biofilm formation on biotic or abiotic surfaces is caused by microbial cells of a single or
heterogeneous species. Biofilm protects microbes from stressful environmental conditions …

Increased contamination of the environment with toxic pollutants has paved the way for
efficient strategies which can be implemented for environmental restoration. The major …

Quorum sensing (QS), a type of bacterial cell–cell communication, produces autoinducers
which help in biofilm formation in response to cell population density. In this review, biofilm …

The biofilm habitat represents a primary mode of growth and living for the bacteria.
Wherever there is water, a surface support and available nutrients, a biofilm will form. In …

Quorum sensing (QS) signaling plays a significant role in the natural regulation of biofilm
formation. Multiple species QS systems in wastewater treatment processes have received …

Bioaugmentation is an effective technology for treating wastewater containing recalcitrant
organic pollutants. However, it is restricted by several technical problems, including the …

Quorum sensing (QS) signaling, plays a significant role in regulating formation of biofilms in
the nature; however, little information about the occurrence and distribution of quorum …

Biofilms are structured microbial communities of single or multiple populations in which
microbial cells adhere to a surface and get embedded in extracellular polymeric substances …

Restoring an environment contaminated with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is highly
challenging. Biodegradation by biofilm-forming bacteria through quorum sensing (QS) is a …

Bacteria regulate specific group behaviors such as biofilm formation in response to
population density using small signal molecules called autoinducers (quorum sensing, QS) …
