Paenibacillus polymyxa Invades Plant Roots and Forms Biofilms Paenibacillus polymyxa is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium with a broad host range, but so far the use of this organism as a biocontrol agent has not been very efficient. In previous work we showed that this bacterium protects Ar...
forms biofilms under simulated platelet storage conditions]]>doi:10.1111/j.1537-2995.2007.01249.xBACKGROUND:Staphylococcus epidermidis grows slowly in platelet (PLT) preparations compared to other bacteria, presenting the possibility of missed detection by routine screening. S. epidermidis is a leading...
It is important to understand the details of biofilm development in the GI tract since bacteria in this state not only use biofilms to improve colonization, biofilm bacteria often exhibit high levels of resistance to common, clinically relevant antibacterial drugs. Here we examine the initial ...
Bacteria can adhere to material surfaces and form biofilms by embedding themselves into extracellular matrices composed of proteins, polysaccharides, DNA, and extracellular fibrils8. While the structure and function of many extracellular fibrils have been extensively studied9,10,11,12, it remains unclear...

An evaluation of the antimicrobial efficacy of AM, isolated and coupled with aPDT using PHTALOX as the photosensitizer, was undertaken against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. The groups under investigation encompassed C+, L, AM, AM+L, AM+PHTX, and AM+aPDT. The ...
Second,biofilm structuregives us information concerning the maturity and stability of the biofilm and, as a consequence, of the diatom community. Very thin biofilms are generally composed of only low-profile guild, and can represent either a recently settled community (a first stage of colonization...
one of the most predominant processes in which functional amyloids have a biological role is in the context of multicellular behavior and biofilm formation. Biofilms are the most common bacterial growth in natural environments, medical, and industrial settings3. In biofilms, bacteria are embedded in ...
This contrasts with the responses observed after MB and CP treatments, suggesting its potential for addressing microbial biofilms.The most aggressive form of skin cancer, melanoma, unfortunately shows a rising trend in both the number of cases and fatalities. A triazene and a sulfur L-tyrosine ...
