Abstract Microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm) in the environment have attracted worldwide attention
due to their wide distribution and difficulty in handling. Aging processes such as UV …

Abstract Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important
bacterial pathogens that causes infection with a high mortality rate due to resistance to …

In the aquatic environment, microplastic (MP;< 5 mm) is a cause of concern because of its
persistence and potential adverse effects on biota. Studies of microlitter impacts are mostly …

Streams and rivers form dense networks, shape the Earth's surface and, in their sediments,
provide an immensely large surface area for microbial growth. Biofilms dominate microbial …

Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) is a cell‐to‐cell communication in which specific signals are
activated to coordinate pathogenic behaviors and help bacteria acclimatize to the …

This review focuses on some important and challenging aspects of soil extracellular enzyme
research. We report on recent discoveries, identify key research needs and highlight the …

One of the key elements in the establishment and maintenance of the biofilm structure and
properties is the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is composed of water and …

Biofilms are clusters of bacteria that live in association with surfaces. Their main
characteristic is that the bacteria inside the biofilms are attached to other bacterial cells and …

Since the dawn of civilization, it has been understood that pathogenic microorganisms
cause infectious conditions in humans, which at times, may prove fatal. Among the different …
