Spatial distribution of bacteria and extracellular polymeric substances impacts nanoparticle penetration in biofilms

This study investigates how biofilm structure affects nanoparticle penetration using experimental and simulation methods in Salmonella biofilms.

Effect of chemical modifications of tannins on their antibiofilm effect against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria

This study examines how chemical modifications of tannins affect their antibiofilm activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, finding that specific derivatizations shift activity toward specific bacterial types.

Permissive aggregative group formation favors coexistence in yeast

This study shows that permissive kin recognition in yeast leads to coexistence between cooperators and defectors under varying environmental conditions.

Competitive inter-species interactions underlie the increased antimicrobial tolerance in multispecies brewery biofilms

The paper shows that competitive interactions among species in brewery biofilms increase antimicrobial tolerance, as antimicrobial treatment reduces competition and allows tolerant species to bloom.
