However, similarly to humans, bacterial cells often socialize, using surfaces to coalesce into complex heterogeneous communities called biofilms. Within a group, bacteria in the biofilm are ...

albicans [9]. Acetic acid has also been shown to be effective at eradicating bacterial biofilms [10]. Biofilms are a ...

The so-called "cyborg" bugs produce acetic acid, a chemical that can then be turned into fuel and plastic. In lab experiments, the bacteria proved much more efficient at harvesting sunlight than ...

A new polymer removes biofilms—mats of microbes and their exuded substances—by mimicking a fluid oozed by barnacles (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c09311). The material could ...

Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in distinct, structured communities called biofilms. Nearly all of these bacteria grow by splitting [or ...

Dr Annette Taylor and Dr Esther Karunakaran are part of a new Research Group the Sheffield Collaboratorium for Antimicrobial Resistance And Biofilms. The group are looking at how harmful bacteria form ...

When bacteria make biofilms, they can become very hard to kill, even with effective antibiotics. Credit: Scharvik/iStock/Getty Images About 23,000 Americans and 25,000 Europeans die each year from ...

Dr. Ghigo's research has contributed to a better understanding of the biological resources used by commensal and pathogenic bacteria to form biofilms. The Ghigo lab is currently focusing on the ...

White distilled vinegars are generally 4% to 7% acetic acid whereas cider and wine vinegars are 5% to 6% acetic acid. Specialty vinegars are grouped as herbal or fruit vinegars. Herbal vinegars ...
