Biofilm formation is a process in which microbial cells aggregate to form collectives that are
embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix. Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive …

While biofilms formed by bacteria have received great attention due to their importance in
pathogenesis, much less research has been focused on the biofilms formed by archaea. It …

Biofilms are multicellular microbial communities that encase themselves in an extracellular
matrix (ECM) of secreted biopolymers and attach to surfaces and interfaces. Bacterial …

Biofilms are bacterial communities that result from a cell differentiation process leading to
the secretion of an extracellular matrix (ECM) by part of the population. In Bacillus subtilis …

Functional amyloid proteins often appear as fibers in extracellular matrices of microbial soft
colonies. In contrast to disease-related amyloid structures, they serve a functional goal that …

Biomineralization describes the process of mineral precipitation from soluble precursors by
living organisms. It is sometimes associated with single bacterial cells, for example, the …

Here we review recent findings on the role of calcium and calcium signaling as emerging
regulators of biofilm formation in beneficial bacteria, as well as essential mediators of biofilm …

Biofilms are bacterial communities that result from a cell differentiation process that leads to
the secretion of an extracellular matrix (ECM) by part of the bacterial population. In Bacillus …

Bacterial community dynamics in the human gut microbiome can have profound effects on
human health and disease, yet experimental limitations make it extremely difficult to study …

Biofilms are surface-associated soft microbial communities, which may be either detrimental
or beneficial to their hosting environment. They develop from single cells into mature …
