We review recent work on active colloids at interfaces, including self-propelled colloids that
move by generating a propulsive force, and driven colloids that move under external fields …

Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico demonstrated that oil in
the water column may be transported from surface waters to the sediments via marine snow …

The ability of bacteria to form biofilms hinders any conventional treatment for chronic
infections and has serious socio-economic implications. For this purpose, a nanocarrier …

Biodegradation of oil by marine bacteria is a significant pathway to oil spill remediation.
Marine hydrocarbon degrading bacteria are known to form biofilms consisting of exopolymer …

Synthetic amphiphiles used for managing large-scale oil spills have a toxic impact on the
environment and marine life. Developing new oil spill recovery technologies is critical to …

Bacterial adsorption to interfaces is the initial step in biofilm formation. The mechanism of
biofilm formation at liquid-liquid interfaces differs from the process of biofilm formation on …

Bacteria are important examples of active or self-propelled colloids. Because of their
directed motion, they accumulate near interfaces. There, they can become trapped and swim …

Bacteria forming biofilms at oil-water interfaces have diverse metabolism, they use
hydrocarbons as a carbon and energy source. Kombucha is a fermented drink obtained from …

Microbial biofilms are viscoelastic materials formed by bacteria, which occur on solid
surfaces, at liquid interfaces, or in free solution. Although solid surface biofilms have been …

Monolayers of growing non-motile rod-shaped bacteria act as active nematic materials
composed of hard particles rather than the flexible components of other commonly studied …
