Abstract: Microorganisms are able to colonise abiotic surfaces in marine waters, supporting ecological and biogeochemical functions. In turn, environmental factors may determine the accrual and activity of microbial biofilms. The environment is subject to global climate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d2sm01647h
Abstract: Marine biofilms on ship hulls increase frictional drag, which has economic and environmental consequences. It is hypothesised that biofilm mechanics, such as viscoelasticity, play a critical role in biofilm-associated drag, yet is a poorly studied… read more here.
