Living Electronics: Microbial Metabolism as Batteries, Resistors, and Capacitors
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Three microorganisms are assigned the three elementary roles of a circuit on one sheet of paper. Dormant Bacillus subtilis spores germinate to switch the power source on; a photosynthetic Synechocystis biofilm sets resistance by the color and intensity of light; and a respiring Shewanella oneidensis biofilm stores charge. Together they form a printable

Enzyme Immobilization on Polysaccharides for Biofilm Degradation in Tissue Constructs
Journal of Pure and Applied MicrobiologyThe 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 ...

Biofilms: Microbial Life on Surfaces
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002 Microorganisms attach to surfaces and develop biofilms. Biofilm-associated cells can be differentiated from their suspended counterparts by generation of an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix, reduced growth rates, and the up- and down ...

Production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) by benthic diatoms: effect of irradiance and temperature [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2002 An axenic culture of Cylindrotheca closterium and a natural community of benthic diatoms were used to study the effect of temperature and irradiance on the production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). In the culture, results depended on the growth stage of the algae and on whether absolute values or biomass-related values were considered ...

The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Small cells, powerful collectives. Bacteria demonstrate how sophisticated behaviors can emerge from many simple individuals working together. We explore the remarkable world of bacterial communities and the mechanisms that underpin their complex emergent behaviors, enabling impressive adaptability, robustness, and responsiveness to changing ...

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membrane‐bound structures that play a pivotal role in intercellular communication by transporting bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and organelles, between cells. Originating from the endosomal pathway, EVs reflect the physiological and pathological status of their parent
