When protein/peptides aggregate, they usually form the amyloid state consisting of cross β-
sheet structure built by repetitively stacked β-strands forming long fibrils. Amyloids are …

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

Bacterial biofilms can be programmed to produce living materials with self-healing and
evolvable functionalities. However, the wider use of artificial biofilms has been hindered by …

Many bacteria in nature exist in multicellular communities termed biofilms, where cells are
embedded in an extracellular matrix that provides rigidity to the biofilm and protects cells …

Amyloid fibrils are best known as a product of human and animal protein misfolding
disorders, where amyloid formation is associated with cytotoxicity and disease. It is now …

Biofilm formation is a social behaviour that generates favourable conditions for sustained
survival in the natural environment. For the Gram‐positive bacterium B acillus subtilis the …

Biofilms are ubiquitous in the natural and man-made environment. They are defined as
microbes that are encapsulated in an extracellular, self-produced, biofilm matrix. Growing …

Microorganisms form surface-attached communities, termed biofilms, which can serve as
protection against host immune reactions or antibiotics. Bacillus subtilis biofilms contain …

In response to chemical communication, bacterial cells often organize themselves into
complex multicellular communities that carry out specialized tasks. These communities are …

Biofilms are multicellular microbial communities that encase themselves in an extracellular
matrix (ECM) of secreted biopolymers and attach to surfaces and interfaces. Bacterial …
