The extracellular matrix is a critical component of microbial biofilms, such as dental plaque,
maintaining the spatial arrangement of cells and coordinating cellular functions throughout …

Dental caries, a prevalent oral infectious disease, is intricately linked to the biofilm formation
on the tooth surfaces by oral microbes. Among these, Streptococcus mutans plays a central …

Biofilms are highly structured microbial communities that are enmeshed in a self-produced
extracellular matrix. Within the complex oral microbiome, Streptococcus mutans is a major …

Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

Streptococcus mutans, a major etiological agent of human dental caries, lives primarily on
the tooth surface in biofilms. Limited information is available concerning the extracellular …

Biofilms are microbial communities attached to surfaces and encased in an extracellular
matrix of microbial origin. They represent the predominant form of microbial life. Biofilms are …

Programmed cell death is a process known to have a crucial role in many aspects of
eukaryotes physiology and is clearly essential to their life. As a consequence, the underlying …

Microbial biofilms are a fascinating subject, due to their significant roles in the environment,
industry, and health. Advances in biochemical and molecular techniques have helped in …

Since its discovery in 1924 by J Clarke, Streptococcus mutans has been the focus of
rigorous research efforts due to its involvement in caries initiation and progression. Its ability …

Autoinduction (AI), the response to self-produced chemical signals, is widespread in the
bacterial world. This process controls vastly different target functions, such as luminescence …
