Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen causing devastating acute
and chronic infections in individuals with compromised immune systems. Its highly notorious …

Biofilm-mediated bioremediation is an attractive approach for the elimination of
environmental pollutants, because of its wide adaptability, biomass, and excellent capacity …

Essential oils are a complex mixture of odoriferous, volatile organic compounds. There are
an extensive number of published articles which highlight the antimicrobial action of a …

Bacillus subtilis is one of the most widely studied plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria. It is
able to promote plant growth as well as control plant pathogens through diverse …

This Review highlights how we can build upon the relatively new and rapidly developing
field of research into bacterial quorum sensing (QS). We now have a depth of knowledge …

The emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has led to the search for alternate
antimicrobial treatment strategies. Engineered nanoparticles (NPs) for efficient penetration …

The low efficiency and stability of anaerobic digestion (AD) has always hindered its wide
application. The accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) cause acidification and inhibition …

Biofilm formation in living organisms is associated to tissue and implant infections, and it has
also been linked to the contribution of antibiotic resistance. Thus, understanding biofilm …

Biofilm refers to the complex, sessile communities of microbes found either attached to a
surface or buried firmly in an extracellular matrix as aggregates. The biofilm matrix …

Bacteria use quorum sensing to orchestrate gene expression programmes that underlie
collective behaviours. Quorum sensing relies on the production, release, detection and …
