Bacteria in natural and artificial environments often reside in self-organized, integrated
communities known as biofilms. Biofilms are highly structured entities consisting of bacterial …

Acidity is one of the principal physicochemical factors that influence the behavior of
microorganisms in any environment, and their response to it often determines their ability to …

Biofilms are complex, self-organized consortia of microorganisms that produce a functional,
protective matrix of biomolecules. Physically, the structure of a biofilm can be described as …

Some bacteria have coevolved to establish symbiotic or pathogenic relationships with
plants, animals or humans. With human association, the bacteria can cause a variety of …

Predatory protozoa play an essential role in shaping microbial populations. Among these
protozoa, Acanthamoeba are ubiquitous in the soil and aqueous environments inhabited by …

Background Antimicrobial resistance is a great concern in the medical community, as well as
food industry. Soy peptides were tested against bacterial biofilms for their antimicrobial …

Unnatural D-amino acids bearing endocyclic nitrones were developed for live-cell labelling
of the bacterial peptidoglycan layer. Metabolic incorporation of D-Lys and D-Ala derivatives …

Wound healing is a complex process essential to repairing damaged tissues and preventing
infection. Skin is the first line of defense, a chief physical barrier to microbe entry. Wound …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a particularly problematic opportunistic pathogen due to its
capacity to form recalcitrant biofilm structures, while cohabiting with other …

Preferentially altering bacterial migration could be a successful approach for augmenting the
natural wound-healing process. Inducing electrotactic behaviours through the application of …
