Cells released from S. epidermidis biofilms present increased antibiotic tolerance to multiple antibiotics [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Biofilm released cells (Brc) are thought to present an intermediary phenotype between biofilm and planktonic cells and this has the potential of affecting their antimicrobial tolerance.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Effect of nonionic and amphoteric surfactants on salivary pellicles reconstituted in vitro
Scientific Reports, 2021 Surfactants are important components of oral care products. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is the most common because of its foaming properties, taste and low cost.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Using PVA–borax hydrogels as carriers for off‐the‐shelf artificial sweeteners to fight multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii. These soft, biocompatible hydrogels rapidly reduce bacterial viability within multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii biofilms by more than 99% within one hour and sustain antimicrobial activity over time, while demonstrating safety in both

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Bacillus subtilis is engineered to produce cell‐adhesive biofilms by functionalization of its biofilm scaffold protein TasA with a cell‐adhesion sequence. Living bacteria within the biofilm are also engineered to secrete growth factors and natively produce antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), resulting in a cell‐adhesive, antimicrobial, and growth factor ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Impact of Rap-Phr system abundance on adaptation of Bacillus subtilis
Communications Biology, 2021 Ramses Gallegos-Monterrosa, Mathilde Nordgaard Christensen, and colleagues investigate how a single or double deletion of the rap-phr genes, parts of peptide-based quorum sensing systems, impacts the sporulation and biofilm formation of B. subtilis under
