This engineering advantage also provides biofilm bacteria with a continuous source of food (i.e., carbon and other nutrients found in the untreated water), which allows the cells to thrive under ...

Scientists at the USDA’s Agriculture Research Service have demonstrated the potential of a form of whole genome sequencing for the early detection of ...

"This study is a testament to the unexpected connections between plant biology and microbiology." Scientists make astonishing discovery about plants at the molecular level — here's how it could help ...

Litter near the Charles River. For 10 to 15 days, Nelia Gross, a PhD candidate studying materials science and engineering, ...

“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different ...

The research into long-read whole genome sequencing (WGS) could give food processors more time to initiate sanitation of surfaces before biofilms are… Suspected food fraud and non-compliance ...

In industrial settings, knowledge of biofilm behavior can enhance sanitation protocols in high-risk environments, such as ...
