Birmingham scientists have revealed a new method to increase efficiency in biocatalysis, in a paper published today in Materials Horizons. Biocatalysis uses enzymes, cells or microbes to catalyze ...

Slimy, hard-to-clean bacterial mats called biofilms cause problems ranging from medical infections to clogged drains and fouled industrial equipment. Now, researchers at Princeton have found a way to ...

3D renderings of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms show that treatment with SLAM particles can disrupt the bacterial biofilm and prevent regrowth. Most people have encountered the black, grey, or pink ...

Bacteria permeate virtually every corner of the Earth. Most bacteria live in a biofilm state to enhance their survival and propagation, and to perform essential tasks for many ecosystems. Aa Aa Aa ...

Bacterial biofilms could form the basis of a new biomaterial system with a range of tunable properties from fluorescence to tailored chemical activity. Work by a collaboration of researchers led by ...

Biofilms form when bacterial cells gather and develop structures that bond them in a gooey substance. This glue can protect the cells from the outside world and allow them to form complex ...

Dental plaque, gut bacteria and the slippery sheen on river rocks are all examples of biofilms, organized communities of microorganisms that colonize our bodies and the world around us. A new study ...

While biofilms occur naturally on many surfaces, including bodies of water and living tissues, they can become a concern when they invade a building water system, potentially damaging water quality ...
