Effect of surface roughness, biofilm coverage and biofilm structure on the electrochemical efficiency of microbial cathodes [PDF]
, 2011 Biofilms of Geobacter sulfurreducens were formed under chronoamperometry at −0.5 V and −0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl on stainless steel cathodes and tested for fumarate reduction.

Biofilm Formation Studies in Microtiter Plate Format
, 2012 Although Candida biofilms have been clearly identified as playing an increasingly important role in human disease, their biology and the reason for their poor susceptibility to antifungal agents remain largely unknown. Over recent years, various models have been developed in order to better characterize Candida biofilms.

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 ...

Biofilm formation in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2011 Summary Biofilm‐grown bacteria are refractory to antimicrobial agents and show an increased capacity to evade the host immune system. In recent years, studies have begun on biofilm formation by Streptococcus pneumoniae , an important human pathogen, using a variety of

3D‐Printed Porous Hydroxyapatite Formed via Enzymatic Mineralization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bone combines lightness, strength, and the ability to heal, inspiring new materials design. This work introduces a room‐temperature, enzyme‐mediated 3D printing method to create porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds. The process avoids energy‐intensive sintering, preserves bioactivity, and allows control over porosity and mineralization.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A dual‐layer living hydrogel, ProΦGel, integrates bacteriophages and probiotics for synergistic wound infection therapy. The outer gelatin‐based matrix releases phages on demand in response to P. aeruginosa infections, while inner alginate beads sustain probiotic delivery.

A pore-scale model for permeable biofilm: numerical simulations and laboratory experiments [PDF]
, 2018 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.

Extending an eco-evolutionary understanding of biofilm-formation at the air-liquid interface to community biofilms [PDF]
, 2020 Growing bacterial populations diversify to produce a number of competing lineages. In the Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 model system, Wrinkly Spreader mutant lineages, capable of colonising the air-liquid interface of static microcosms by biofilm ...
