Pseudomonads are considered to be among the most widespread culturable bacteria in
mesophilic environments. The evolutive success of Pseudomonas species can be attributed …

Mechanisms governing biofilm formation have generated considerable interest in recent
years, yet comparative analyses of processes for bacterial establishment on abiotic and …

This chapter aims to describe the early stages of biofilm formation, particularly on abiotic
surfaces, by focusing on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Specifically, we will dissect the early …

Pseudomonas putida biofilms were developed on and biofilm accumulation rate data were
obtained for the following two classes of support materials: charged surfaces and …

Successful colonization is the initial step for plant-bacteria interactions; therefore, the
development of strategies to improve adherence to plant surfaces is critically important for …

The biofilm lifestyle, where microbial cells are aggregated because of expression of cell‐to‐
cell interconnecting compounds, is believed to be of paramount importance to microbes in …

Here we describe two new methods for the genetic characterization of bacterial biofilm
development. First, we have designed a microtitre dish‐based approach for high‐throughput …

A number of genetic determinants required for bacterial colonization of solid surfaces and
biofilm formation have been identified in different micro-organisms. There are fewer …

Although the growth of bacteria in planktonic culture has been the mainstay of
microbiological technique from the time of Pasteur to the present, and has provided an …

Pseudomonas spp. form a diverse group of aerobic, Gram‐negative, chemoheterotrophic,
motile, rod‐shaped bacteria. This versatile genus is abundant and ubiquitous in nature …
