Competition of motile and immotile bacterial strains in a petri dish
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2013 Bacterial competition is an important component in many practical applications such as plant roots colonization and medicine (especially in dental plaque). Bacterial motility has two types of mechanisms -- directed movement (chemotaxis) and undirected movement.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.
