The researchers identified a library of synthetic polymers and screened them for their ability to induce biofilm formation in E. coli, a bacterium that is one of the most widely studied ...

Microbial assays are a technique to assess a compound’s potency or concentration. This is carried out by exposing microorganisms to the compound and determining its effect on them. Microbial assays ...

3D renderings of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms show that treatment with SLAM particles can disrupt the bacterial biofilm and prevent regrowth. Most people have encountered the black, grey, or pink ...

Researchers showed that biofilm formation can be controlled with laser light in the form of optical traps. The findings could allow scientists to harness biofilms for various bioengineering ...

Birmingham scientists have revealed a new method to increase efficiency in biocatalysis, in a paper published today in Materials Horizons. Biocatalysis uses enzymes, cells or microbes to catalyse ...
