Bacteria have developed a large array of motility mechanisms to exploit available resources
and environments. These mechanisms can be broadly classified into swimming in aqueous …

Biofilms initiate when bacteria encounter and are retained on surfaces. The surface
orchestrates biofilm growth through direct physico-chemical and mechanical interactions …

Many cyanobacteria, which use light as an energy source via photosynthesis, show
directional movement towards or away from a light source. However, the molecular and cell …

Due to inefficient removal of microplastics by drinking water treatment process, widely
distributed microplastics in drinking water sources may pose risks to drinking water safety …

Surface-attached bacterial biofilms cause disease and industrial biofouling, as well as being
widespread in the natural environment. Density-dependent quorum sensing is one of the …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is commonly implicated in hospital-acquired
infections where its capacity to form biofilms on a variety of surfaces and the resulting …

Bacteria are keenly sensitive to properties of the surfaces they contact, regulating their ability
to form biofilms and initiate infections. This study examines how the presence of flagella …

Clogging is a critical issue for unconventional water irrigation. Here, we report an in situ pilot
electrochemical device to efficient prevent and control clogging induced from a reclaimed …

Microfluidic devices are widely used in many fields of biology, but a key limitation is that cells
are typically surrounded by solid walls, making it hard to access those that exhibit a specific …

Bacteria are ubiquitously found in all sorts of environment. They're found in the ocean, soil,
or even in our guts or on our skin. Independently of their niche, they can transition from a …
