In the biofilm form, bacteria are more resistant to various antimicrobial treatments. Bacteria in
a biofilm can also survive harsh conditions and withstand the host's immune system …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an environmentally important atmospheric trace gas because it is an
effective greenhouse gas and it leads to ozone depletion through photo-chemical nitric …

Biofilms are complex microbial architectures that attach to surfaces and encase
microorganisms in a matrix composed of self-produced hydrated extracellular polymeric …

Studies of the biofilm life cycle can identify novel targets and strategies for improving biofilm
control measures. Of particular interest are dispersal events, where a subpopulation of cells …

Biofilms are surface-associated, multicellular communities of bacteria. Once established,
they are extremely difficult to eradicate by antimicrobial treatment. It has been demonstrated …

NO emissions from soils and ecosystems are of outstanding importance for atmospheric
chemistry. Here we review the current knowledge on processes involved in the formation …

Biofilms are sessile communities of microbial cells contained within a self-produced
exopolymeric matrix. Bacteria encased in biofilms exhibit upwards of 10–1000-fold higher …

The global COVID-19 pandemic has become the largest public health challenge of recent
years. The incidence of COVID-19-related acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) …

Although several reports have documented nitric oxide (NO) regulation of biofilm formation,
the molecular basis of this phenomenon is unknown. In many bacteria, an H-NOX (heme …

The formation of the organized bacterial community called biofilm is a crucial event in
bacterial physiology. Given that biofilms are often refractory to antibiotics and disinfectants to …
