Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to ...

Biofilms are clusters of microorganisms that stick to non-biological surfaces, such as rocks in a stream, as well as to surfaces on plants (roots) or in animals (epithelium). These clusters are ...

Biofilms are complex, three-dimensional structures of living bacteria embedded in a slimy matrix. "In Vibrio cholerae, the cholera-causing pathogen, even a brief exposure to cell wall fragments ...

Bacterial Space Biofilms (1st flight): Launched on November, 2019 (NG-12). Returned to Earth on January 2020 (SpaceX-19) Fungal Space Biofilms (2nd flight): Launched on February, 2022 (NG-17).

Cornell researchers found that genetic variation in AMY1, a starch-digesting gene, alters oral bacteria composition, ...

Bacterial cells growing in biofilms are physiologically distinct from free-swimming planktonic cells. For example, differences have been shown in motility, polysaccharide production, antibiotic ...

Females and males differ in terms of oral biofilms composition, particularly in the subgingival niche during periodontitis, potentially impacting on immunity, as supported by evidence of disease ...

Researchers have looked into the behavior of Listeria monocytogenes related to biofilms and how they support the persistence of the pathogen in food ...

Penn's Dental School and School of Engineering and Applied Science have worked together to create a new treatment option for ...
