Bacterial biofilms are complex surface attached communities of bacteria held together by
self-produced polymer matrixs mainly composed of polysaccharides, secreted proteins, and …

Biofouling is a critical issue in membrane water and wastewater treatment as it greatly
compromises the efficiency of the treatment processes. It is difficult to control, and significant …

Biofilms are matrix‐enclosed microbial aggregates that adhere to a biological or
nonbiological surface. Biofilm formation is a significant problem in the medical, food, and …

Background Biofilms are microorganisms community embedded in the self-secreted
extracellular polymeric substances, which can provide microbes with strong tolerance and …

Globally, cyanobacterial blooms have become serious problems in eutrophic water. Most
previous studies have focused on environmental factors but have neglected the role of …

The furan nucleus is found in a large number of biologically active materials. In recent years,
many natural furan derivatives were isolated and their biological effects were investigated. In …

Membrane biofouling is widely acknowledged as the most frequent adverse event in
wastewater treatment systems resulting in significant loss of treatment efficiency and …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of bacterial communication that involves the use of
biochemical signals and adjusts the expression of specific genes as a response to the …

Numerous in vitro studies highlight the role of quorum sensing in the pathogenicity and
virulence of biofilms. This narrative review discusses general principles in quorum sensing …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread intercellular form of communication to coordinate
physiological processes and cooperative activities of bacteria at the population level, and it …
