Microbial mats are horizontally stratified microbial communities, exhibiting a structure
defined by physiochemical gradients, which models microbial diversity, physiological …

Any natural or artificial substratum exposed to seawater is quickly fouled by marine
microorganisms and later by macrofouling species. Microfouling organisms on the surface of …

The importance of expanding our knowledge on microorganisms derived from extreme
environments stems from the development of novel and sustainable technologies for our …

The interactions between bacteria and phytoplankton regulate many important
biogeochemical reactions in the marine environment, including those in the global carbon …

Emergence of extended antibiotic resistance among bacterial pathogens often leads to the
failure of existing antibiotics to treat bacterial infections; therefore, there is an urgent need to …

In this study, extremely halophilic and moderately thermophilic microorganisms from a
hypersaline microbial mat were screened for their ability to produce antibacterial, antidiatom …

This study unveils the in vitro and in vivo antibiofilm potential of 2, 6-Di-tert-butyl-4-
methylphenol (DTBMP) from Chroococcus turgidus against Vibrio spp. In the preliminary …

Hot spring biofilms are stable, highly complex microbial structures. They form at dynamic
redox and light gradients and are composed of microorganisms adapted to the extreme …

When you enter a cave, as a human, you are immediately struck by what an alien
environment you have entered, as the light fades, and cool, moist air surrounds you. Using …

Phototrophic biofilms are multispecies, self‐sustaining and largely closed microbial
ecosystems. They form macroscopic structures such as microbial mats and stromatolites …
