Biofilm formation is a process in which microbial cells aggregate to form collectives that are
embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix. Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive …

To defend against microbial invaders but also to establish symbiotic programs, plants need
to detect the presence of microbes through the perception of molecular signatures …

Extraradical hyphae (ERH) of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) extend from plant roots
