Mucoid Mutants of the Biocontrol Strain Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 Show Increased Ability in Biofilm Formation on Mycorrhizal and Nonmycorrhizal Carrot Roots

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001
Extracellular polysaccharides play an important role in the formation of bacterial biofilms. We tested the biofilmforming ability of two mutant strains with increased production of acidic extracellular polysaccharides compared with the wild-type ...

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Living Liquid Metal Composites Embedded with Electrogenic Endospores for Next‐Generation Bioelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A new class of living liquid metal composites is introduced, embedding Bacillus subtilis endospores into eutectic gallium–indium (EGaIn). The spores enhance droplet coalescence, strengthen interfacial conductivity, and provide on‐demand electrogenic functionality after germination. The composites exhibit high conductivity, self‐healing, patternability,
