The structure and function of biofilmsDescribes the behavior of microorganisms in a biofilm and their physical, chemical and biological interactions with each other and with the environment at both the biofilm-substratum and the biofilm-bulk liquid interface. -after Publisher...

The relation between job satisfaction and each of the emotional intelligence criteria (self-awareness, self-control, and social skills) were upheld and I became clear that there was no significant difference between men and women's emotional intelligence and job satisfaction.E....
Biofilms develop in virtually every interfacial environment [2], [3] and on a wide variety of organic and inorganic substrates, the nature of which has important implications for their structure and function [5]. The rocks, cobbles and sand constituting stream- and riverbeds or groundwater aqui...
Multi-species, surface-attached biofilms often dominate microbial life in streams and rivers, where they contribute substantially to biogeochemical processes. The microbial diversity of natural biofilms is huge, and may have important implications for the functioning of aquatic environments and the ecosystem...
Microbial biofilms are ubiquitous in aquatic environments where they provide important ecosystem functions. A key property believed to influence the community structure and function of biofilms is thickness. However, since biofilm thickness is inextricably linked to external factors such as water flow, tem...
For example, the study of biofilms as organized systems is now more acceptable, and several high profile publications have emerged that examine the physiological basis of structure and function at a multicellular level of monospecific biofilm communities ( Fuqua et al., 1994 ; Fuqua et al., ...
Protein E of Haemophilus is a ubiquitous 16 kDa adhesin that interacts with the host extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins vitronectin and laminin. The adhesin also induces a proinflammatory response in host epithelial cells and is protective in a pulmonary clearance model (1-2). The mid-region of...
