A novel approach for harnessing biofilm communities in moving bed biofilm reactors for industrial wastewater treatment

AIMS Bioengineering, 2015
Moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs) are an effective biotechnology for treating industrial wastewater. Biomass retention on moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) carriers (biofilm support materials), allows for the ease-of-operation and high treatment ...

Quorum Sensing in Halorubrum saccharovorum Facilitates Cross-Domain Signaling between Archaea and Bacteria

Microorganisms, 2023
Quorum Sensing (QS) is a well-studied intercellular communication mechanism in bacteria, regulating collective behaviors such as biofilm formation, virulence, and antibiotic resistance.

Biofilm formation in the lung contributes to virulence and drug tolerance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Nature Communications, 2021
Tuberculosis is a chronic disease that displays several features commonly associated with biofilm-associated infections: immune system evasion, antibiotic treatment failures, and recurrence of infection. However, although Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)

Fungal Biofilm Resistance [PDF]

International Journal of Microbiology, 2012
Fungal biofilm infections have become increasingly recognised as a significant clinical problem. One of the major reasons behind this is the impact that these have upon treatment, as antifungal therapy often fails and surgical intervention is required. This places a large financial burden on health care providers.

Autogenic versus environmental control during development of river biofilm [PDF]

, 2009
In the natural environment, microbial community structure of river biofilm is controlled by biotic and abiotic factors. This study explored the capacity to manipulate the structure of microbial communities by modifying environmental conditions during the
