Abstract: While paint particles are an important part of the microplastic sphere, they have, as yet, received much less research coverage, particularly regarding microplastic-microbiological interactions. This study investigated the biofilm communities of a variety of paint… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.7b01413
Abstract: The complex interactions that occur in mixed-species bioelectrochemical reactors, like microbial fuel cells (MFCs), make accurate predictions of performance outcomes under untested conditions difficult. While direct correlations between any individual waste stream characteristic or microbial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.14073
Abstract: It is unknown whether bacterioplankton and biofilm communities are structured by the same ecological processes, and whether they influence each other through continuous dispersal (known as mass effects). Using a hierarchical sampling approach we compared… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14356
Abstract: The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem stability is poorly understood in microbial communities. Biofilm communities in small bioreactors called microbial electrolysis cells (MEC) contain moderate species numbers and easy tractable functional traits, thus providing an… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.991816
Abstract: Biofilm communities play a major role in explaining the temporal variation of biogeochemical conditions in freshwater ecosystems, and yet we know little about how these complex microbial communities change over time (aka succession), and from… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics9110832
Abstract: Infections with bacterial biofilm communities are highly tolerant of antibiotics. This protection is attributed, in part, to a hydrated extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) that surrounds the bacterial community and that limits antibiotic diffusion. In this… read more here.
