DOI: 10.1002/2017jg004050
Abstract: Biofilms, consisting of microorganisms and their secreted extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), serve as “ecosystem engineers” stabilizing sedimentary environments. Natural sediment bed provides an excellent substratum for biofilm growth. The porous structure and rich nutrients allow… read more here.

Abstract: Findings from gut microbiome studies are strongly influenced by both experimental and analytical factors that can unintentionally bias their interpretation. Environment is also critical. Both co-housing and maternal effects are expected to affect microbiomes and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreve.107.024409
Abstract: Quorum sensing (QS) allows bacterial cells to sense changes in local cell density and, hence, to regulate multicellular processes, including biofilm formation, regulation of virulence, and horizontal gene transfer. While, traditionally, QS was thought to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0286509
Abstract: Gravid Anopheles malaria vectors depend on both chemical and physical (including microbial) cues for selection of preferred habitats for oviposition. This study focused on assessing the effects of bacterial composition and habitat metabolites on malaria… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.01083
Abstract: Tumor-targeting bacteria elicit anticancer effects by infiltrating hypoxic regions, releasing toxic agents and inducing immune responses. Although current research has largely focused on the influence of chemical and immunological aspects on the mechanisms of bacterial… read more here.
