A recent study published in npj | Biofilms and Microbiomes explored biofilm maturation and dispersal dynamics in Bacillus ...

Biofilm formation is a process by which individual ... The next step was to see what was happening in single cells under the microscope. How did you visualize individual Pseudomonas aeruginosa ...

Ever since, Chimileski has captured the intricate structures of hundreds of bacterial biofilms at microscopic and macroscopic scales. Using a custom incubator camera setup, he created detailed ...

could lead to new strategies to combat infection related to biofilms, which are hard to treat using traditional antibiotics. Using a combination of genetics, microscopy, simulations, and biochemical ...

A single, microscopic bacterium divides and expands into a visible colony that can further organize into dynamic structures, from swarming patterns to biofilms. Microbiologist Scott Chimileski at the ...

Almost all micro-organisms subsist in elaborate colonies that are embedded in biofilms of self-produced exopolymer matrices. The biofilm allows the micro-organisms to adhere to any surface ...

The thermal spring environment hosts 3–5 cm thick red and green layered biofilms, which are carbonate-rich microbial mats. These biofilms can thrive under extreme conditions, including low ...

“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different ...
