As a precise tool for influencing biofilm growth patterns, laser manipulation could enable biofilms to be used for sensors and more WASHINGTON — Biofilms — slimy layers formed when bacteria stick ...
Bacteria utilise a sophisticated chemical communication system, known as quorum sensing, to assess their population density and coordinate group behaviours, including the formation of biofilms. This ...
Wastewater treatment could be more effective using foamed plastic carriers in the moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) process, a research team has found. Their study showed that biofilm formation ...
