Enzyme Immobilization on Polysaccharides for Biofilm Degradation in Tissue Constructs

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
The surfaces of medical devices can quietly become breeding grounds for resilient bacterial colonies, which pose a significant risk to patients. These microorganisms form complex communities embedded within a self-produced extracellular matrix known as ...

Extracellular Polymeric Substance Production and Aggregated Bacteria Colonization Influence the Competition of Microbes in Biofilms [PDF]

The production of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) is important for the survival of biofilms. However, EPS production is costly for bacteria and the bacterial strains that produce EPS (EPS+) grow in the same environment as non-producers (EPS ...

Periodic bioinoculations enhance soil aggregate stability through species-specific effects and interactions with the native microbiota

Geoderma
Microbial inoculants can improve soil aggregate structure, but their effects are often transient due to limited survival. While periodic inoculations sustain microbial populations, their dynamic effects on soil aggregates remain unclear due to complex ...

Antibiofilm activity of Plumbagin against Staphylococcus aureus

Scientific Reports
In chronic infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, biofilm is a major virulence factor. In Staphylococcus aureus biofilms, bacteria are embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances and are highly tolerant to antimicrobial drugs. However,
