A pore-scale model for permeable biofilm: numerical simulations and laboratory experiments [PDF]
In this paper we derive a pore-scale model for permeable biofilm formation in a two-dimensional pore. The pore is divided in two phases: water and biofilm.

Stream biofilm response to an increasing number of non-flow periods [PDF]
Anthropogenic impacts and climate change are considerably altering freshwater systems. Most significant consequences of this are changes to flow regimes as well as the transformation of permanent into temporary waterways.

The protein tyrosine kinases EpsB and PtkA differentially affect biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
The Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis is able to choose between motile and sessile lifestyles. The sessile way of life, also referred to as biofilm, depends on the formation of an extracellular polysaccharide matrix and some extracellular ...

Novel Bacterial Diversity and Fragmented eDNA Identified in Hyperbiofilm-Forming Pseudomonas aeruginosa Rugose Small Colony Variant [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms represent a major threat to health care. Rugose small colony variants (RSCV) of P. aeruginosa, isolated from chronic infections, display hyperbiofilm phenotype.

Antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity and machine learning classification analysis of essential oils from different mediterranean plants against pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous organism and opportunistic pathogen that can cause persistent infections due to its peculiar antibiotic resistance mechanisms and to its ability to adhere and form biofilm.

Development is not restricted to so-called higher organisms. Developmental processes in bacteria include differentiation of a single cell, such as the swarmer-to-stalk transition by Caulobacter crescentus and spore formation by Bacillus subtilis .
