Abstract: Free-living planktonic single bacterial strain can decolorize Congo red (CR) but often produces the carcinogenic, mutagenic and genotoxic aromatic amines. Planktonic single and bacterial consortia are more susceptible to toxic pollutants than their biofilm counterparts.… read more here.

Abstract: Metabolites of azo dyes are often carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic and recalcitrant in nature. In this study, four biofilm consortia such as C1 (Vitreoscilla sp. ENSG301, Acinetobacter lwoffii ENSG302, Klebsiella pneumoniae ENSG303 and Pseudomonas fluorescens ENSG304),… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae is a main cause of child mortality worldwide, but strains also asymptomatically colonize the upper airways of most children and form biofilms. Recent studies have demonstrated that ∼50% of colonized children carry… read more here.
