Microplastics (MPs), antibiotics and heavy metals unavoidably contaminate the aquaculture
environment, with serious ecological and human health consequences. Antibiotic …

Antibiotic resistance is a great concern, which leads to global public health risks and
ecological and environmental risks. The presence of antibiotic-resistant genes and antibiotic …

Biofilms are ubiquitous throughout aquatic environments and they are thought to promote
the acquisition and dissemination of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs). This study focused on …

Plastic wastes are ubiquitous in aquatic environment. Biofilms, which are often formed on
the surface of plastic waste, may contain antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This study …

Steel corrosion is a global problem in marine engineering. Numerous inhibitory treatments
have been applied to mitigate the degradation of metallic materials; however, they typically …

Larval settlement and metamorphosis is essential for the development of marine
invertebrates. Although polysaccharides are involved in larval settlement and …

Biofilms serve as crucial cues for settlement and metamorphosis in marine invertebrates.
Within bacterial systems, c-di-GMP functions as a pivotal signaling molecule regulating both …

Biofilms are critical components of most marine systems and provide biochemical cues that
