A complex structure known as a biofilm is formed when a variety of bacterial colonies or a
single type of cell in a group sticks to a surface. The extracellular polymeric compounds that …

The vital cellular functions in Gram-positive bacteria are controlled by signaling molecules
known as quorum sensing peptides (QSPs), considered promising therapeutic interventions …

Zosteric acid (ZA) is a secondary metabolite of the seagrass Zostera marina, with antibiofilm
activity against fungi. Information concerning its mechanisms of action is lacking and this …

The escalating prevalence of microplastics (MPs) in constructed wetlands (CWs) raises
concerns about their potential effects on nitrogen (N) removal within these ecosystems …

Bacterial biofilms are multicellular communities that collectively overcome environmental
threats and clinical treatments. To regulate the biofilm lifecycle, bacteria commonly …

The remarkable impact of antibiotics on human health is being eroded at an alarming rate by
the emergence of multidrug resistant pathogens. There is a recognised consensus that new …

Bacterial cells in the natural environment and in infections are rarely found in a planktonic
state. They are instead arranged in well-organized communities embedded in self-produced …

Biofilm formation in unicellular eukaryotes, such as Candida albicans and Saccharomyces
cerevisiae, represents a significant challenge in various sectors, including healthcare …

Symbiosis is the basis of molecular interactions and exchange in the holobiont. In this way,
the holobiont is made up of a host in constant communication with its symbiont organisms …
