EPS—Then and Now [PDF]

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2016
“Slime” played a brief and spectacular role in the 19th century founded by the theory of primordial slime by Ernst Haeckel. However, that substance was never found and eventually abandoned. Further scientific attention slowly began in the 1930s referring to slime as a microbial product and then was inspired by “How bacteria stick” by Costerton et al ...

A pH‐responsive charge‐reversal liposome with enhanced biofilm penetration for multimodal synergistic therapy of bacterial infections

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This study develops a pH‐responsive, charge‐reversal liposome for treating bacterial biofilm infections. With enhanced penetration capability, the liposome effectively delivers antibacterial agents into biofilms. By integrating photodynamic and photothermal therapies with antibiotics, it significantly eradicates biofilms and accelerates bacteria ...

The Role of Corporate Governance in Enhancing Environmental and Social Performance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how different corporate governance (CG) approaches influence firms' environmental and social performance, specifically focusing on the role of internal vs. external resources and operational vs. strategic approaches. Anchored in stakeholder and resource dependency theory, we develop a conceptual framework grounded in ...
