Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a phenomenon of increasing concern that
affects various materials and sectors of society. MIC describes the effects, often negative …

The increase in the body weight of animals, a pivotal indicator closely tied to production, is
important to the aquaculture industry. Despite remarkable variability in gut microbiomes …

The importance of microbial biofilms has been well‐recognized for several decades, and
focus is now shifting towards investigating multispecies biofilm communities rather than …

Polymicrobial biofilms are a hallmark of chronic wound infection. The forces governing
assembly and maturation of these microbial ecosystems are largely unexplored but the …

Natural microbial communities are complex ecosystems with myriads of interactions. To deal
with this complexity, we can apply lessons learned from the study of model organisms and …

Most multicellular eukaryotes host complex communities of microorganisms, but the factors
that govern their assembly are poorly understood. The settlement of specific microorganisms …

Plasmids facilitate rapid bacterial adaptation by shuttling a wide variety of beneficial traits
across microbial communities. However, under non-selective conditions, maintaining a …

Most bacteria live in dense, spatially structured communities such as biofilms. The high
density allows cells to alter the local microenvironment, whereas the limited mobility can …

Pseudomonas fragi and Escherichia coli are considered as common colonizers of fresh and
spoilage meat, where they tend to live in the proximity. In this study, we primarily tested …

Bacterial communities are diverse and shaped by interspecies interactions. In biofilms, the
extracellular matrix impacts these interactions, affecting community functionality, diversity …
