Biofilms are organised heterogeneous assemblages of microbial cells that are encased
within a self-produced matrix. Current estimates suggest that up to 80% of bacterial and …

Biofilms are widespread in nature and constitute an important strategy implemented by
microorganisms to survive in sometimes harsh environmental conditions. They can be …

Efflux pumps are widely implicated in antibiotic resistance because they can extrude the
majority of clinically relevant antibiotics from within cells to the extracellular environment …

Biofilms are microbial communities attached to a surface and embedded in an extracellular
polymeric substance which provides for the protection, stability and nutrients of the various …

Biofilms are communities of microbial cells that underpin diverse processes including
sewage bioremediation, plant growth promotion, chronic infections and industrial biofouling …

Simple Summary Bacterial biofilms cause infections that are often resistant to antibiotic
treatments. Research about the formation and elimination of biofilms cannot be undertaken …

Cellulose is a major contributor to the chemical and mechanical properties of plants and
assumes structural roles in bacterial communities termed biofilms. We find that Escherichia …

Bacteria can form single-and multispecies biofilms exhibiting diverse features based upon
the microbial composition of their community and microenvironment. The study of bacterial …

Two decades have passed since the initial proposition that amyloids are not only (toxic)
byproducts of an unintended aggregation cascade, but that they can also be produced by an …

Many natural biological systems—such as biofilms, shells and skeletal tissues—are able to
assemble multifunctional and environmentally responsive multiscale assemblies of living …
