Cell Cycle Progression Influences Biofilm Formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1308

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Biofilm-immobilized continuous fermentation is a novel fermentation strategy that has been utilized in ethanol fermentation. Continuous fermentation contributes to the self-proliferation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae biofilms.

The Lack of SNARE Protein Homolog Syn8 Influences Biofilm Formation of Candida glabrata

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Biofilm formation of Candida species is considered to be a pathogenic factor of host infection. Since biofilm formation of Candida glabrata has not been as well studied as that of Candida albicans, we performed genetic screening of C. glabrata, and three

Engineering biofilm formation and dispersal [PDF]

Trends in Biotechnology, 2011
Anywhere water is in the liquid state, bacteria will exist as biofilms, which are complex communities of cells that are cemented together. Although frequently associated with disease and biofouling, biofilms are also important for engineering applications, such as bioremediation, biocatalysis and microbial fuel cells.

Influence of osmolites on dual-species biofilm formation

Agricultural Science and Technology
. In a large part of ecological niches, bacterial species are united in communities and develop together in the form of heterogeneous structures called biofilms, which are formed on surfaces of different nature and nature with the participation and as a ...

Biofilm formation in Campylobacter jejuni [PDF]

Microbiology, 2006
The major gastrointestinal pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is shown to exist as three forms of monospecies biofilm in liquid culture. It attaches to a glass surface; forms an unattached aggregate (floc); and forms a pellicle at the liquid–gas interface. The three forms of biofilm resemble each other when examined by scanning electron microscopy.

Investigations of Rhizobium biofilm formation.

FEMS microbiology ecology, 2006
The development of nitrogen-fixing nodules of the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis, especially the early stages of root hair deformation and curling, infection thread formation, and nodule initiation, has been well studied from a genetic standpoint. In contrast, the factors important for the colonization of surfaces by rhizobia, including roots-an important ...

Electrochemical Control of Biofilm Formation and Approaches to Biofilm Removal

Applied Sciences, 2022
This review deals with microbial adhesion to metal-based surfaces and the subsequent biofilm formation, showing that both processes are a serious problem in the food industry, where pathogenic microorganisms released from the biofilm structure may pollute food and related material during their production. Biofilm exhibits an increased resistance toward

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Formation and regulation of Yersinia biofilms [PDF]

Protein & Cell, 2011
Flea-borne transmission is a recent evolutionary adaptation that distinguishes the deadly Yersinia pestis from its progenitor Y. Pseudotuberculosis, a mild pathogen transmitted via the food-borne route. Y. Pestis synthesizes biofilms in the flea gut, which is important for fleaborne transmission.
