The structural role of bacterial eDNA in the formation of biofilm streamers

E. Secchi, G. Savorana, A. Vitale, L. Eberl, R. Stocker, R. Rusconi

This study shows that extracellular DNA (eDNA) forms the backbone of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm streamers and is essential for their mechanical stability, with exopolysaccharide Pel playing an indirect role.

Bacterial surface properties influence the activity of the TAT-RasGAP317-326 antimicrobial peptide

M. Georgieva, T. Heinonen, A. Vitale, S. Hargraves, S. Causevic, T. Pillonel, L. Eberl, C. Widmann, N. Jacquier

This study shows that bacterial surface properties, particularly lipopolysaccharide layer integrity, affect the activity of the TAT-RasGAP317-326 antimicrobial peptide against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The effect of flow on swimming bacteria controls the initial colonization of curved surfaces

E. Secchi, A. Vitale, G. L. Mino, V. Kantsler, L. Eberl, R. Rusconi, R. Stocker

This study shows that flow conditions control where motile bacteria attach to curved surfaces, with attachment preferentially occurring on leeward sides and downstream of apexes, and increases attachment rates by up to two orders of magnitude compared to non-motile cells.

Scorepochs: a computer-aided scoring tool for resting-state M/EEG epochs

M. Fraschini, S. M. La Cava, G. Rodriguez, A. Vitale, M. Demuru

Scorepochs is a tool for automatically scoring resting-state M/EEG epochs to aid in epoch selection, tested on an EEG dataset from 109 subjects.
