The non-attached biofilm aggregate
Communications Biology, 2023 Biofilms have conventionally been perceived as dense bacterial masses on surfaces, following the five-step model of development. Initial biofilm research focused on surface-attached formations, but detached aggregates have received increasing attention ...

Growth limiting conditions and denitrification govern extent and frequency of volume detachment of biofilms [PDF]
, 2013 This study aims at evaluating the mechanisms of biofilm detachment with regard of the physical properties of the biofilm. Biofilms were developed in Couette–Taylor reactor under controlled hydrodynamic conditions and under different environmental growth ...

Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of Desulfovibrio vulgaris biofilms: carbon and energy flow contribute to the distinct biofilm growth state. [PDF]
, 2012 BackgroundDesulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough is a sulfate-reducing bacterium (SRB) that is intensively studied in the context of metal corrosion and heavy-metal bioremediation, and SRB populations are commonly observed in pipe and subsurface ...

Small secreted proteins enable biofilm development in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus. [PDF]
, 2016 Small proteins characterized by a double-glycine (GG) secretion motif, typical of secreted bacterial antibiotics, are encoded by the genomes of diverse cyanobacteria, but their functions have not been investigated to date.

Culexarchaeia, a novel archaeal class of anaerobic generalists inhabiting geothermal environments
ISME Communications, 2022 Geothermal environments, including terrestrial hot springs and deep-sea hydrothermal sediments, often contain many poorly understood lineages of archaea.

A dissipative particle dynamics model of biofilm growth [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 83, 066702, 2011, 2018 A dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) model for the quantitative simulation of biofilm growth controlled by substrate (nutrient) consumption, advective and diffusive substrate transport, and hydrodynamic interactions with fluid flow (including fragmentation and reattachment) is described.
