Microalgae are recognized as a potential source of biomass for obtaining bioenergy.
However, the lack of studies towards economic viability and environmental sustainability of …

Biofilms are complex tri-dimensional structures that encase microbial cells in an extracellular
matrix comprising self-produced polymeric substances. The matrix rich in extracellular …

Biofilm-associated diseases are one of the main causes of implant failure. Currently, the
development of implant surface treatment goes beyond the osseointegration process and …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms enclosed in a self-generated matrix of
extracellular polymeric substances. While biofilm recalcitrance and persistence are caused …

Hypothesis Although bioactive glass (BG) particle coatings were previously developed by
different methods, poor particle adhesion to surfaces and reduced biological effects because …

Streptococcus mutans are considered the most cariogenic bacteria, but it has been
suggested that Candida albicans could increase their cariogenicity. However, the effect of …

Objective Extracellular biofilm matrix plays a role in reducing bacterial susceptibility against
antimicrobials. Since the surface where biofilm is growing modulates microbial accumulation …

Objectives To test the role of exopolysaccharide (EPS) polymers matrix to modulate the
composition/virulence of biofilms growing on titanium (Ti) surfaces, the effect on antibiotic …

The use of saliva as a protein source prior to microbiological and biological assays requires
previous processing. However, the effect of these processing methods on the proteomic …

Streptococcus mutans converts extracellular sucrose (Suc) into exopolysaccharides (EPS)
by glucosyl-transferase and fructosyl-transferase enzymes and internalizes Suc for …
