Global population growth poses a threat to food security in an era of increased ecosystem
degradation, climate change, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. In this context, harnessing …

Food fermentation is driven by microorganisms, which usually coexist as multispecies
biofilms. The activities and interactions of functional microorganisms and pathogenic …

A profound need to explore eco-friendly methods to practice sustainable agriculture leads to
the research and exploration of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs). Biofilms are …

Background The predominant mode of life of most of the bacteria is their biofilm state. Based
on the type of bacteria existing within the biofilm, it might be beneficial or harmful. Its …

Bacterial adhesion potential constitutes the transition of bacteria from the planktonic to the
static phase by promoting biofilm formation, which plays a significant role in plant-microbial …

Biofilms are sessile microbial communities growing on surfaces, which are encased in some
self-produced extracellular material. Beneficial biofilm could be widely used in agriculture …

Fusarium pseudograminearum, a soil-borne fungus, is the cause of the devastating wheat
disease known as wheat crown rot (WCR). The persistence of this pathogen in the soil and …

In various natural ecosystems, bacteria most often live in a sessile state enchased in a self-
produced extracellular matrix forming biofilms. Due to their either negative or positive impact …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an intricate megastructure made by bacterial cells to form
architecturally complex biostructures called biofilms. Protection of cells, modulation of cell-to …

Pichia sp. was isolated from rotten gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica) and monitored for
corrosion inhibition properties by means of biofilm-forming ability. The corrosion inhibition …
