TL;DR: Analysis of biofilms of P. aureofaciens growing on 0.03 mM, 0.1 mM or 0.5 mM citrate minimal media showed that mean biofilm thickness increased with increasing citrate concentration, whereas surface to volume ratio increased with higher citrate concentrations.

TL;DR: New variants of green fluorescent protein from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria have been constructed by the addition of short peptide sequences to the C-terminal end of intact Gfp, rendering the Gfp susceptible to the action of indigenous housekeeping proteases.

TL;DR: This review aims at helping scientists in finding the most appropriate and up-to-date methods to study their biofilms by giving a critical perspective, highlighting the advantages and limitations of several methods.

TL;DR: The mucoid phenotype among the strains infecting CF patients indicates overproduction of a linear polysaccharide called alginate, which suggests that gene activation in bacteria by toxic oxygen radicals, similar to that found in plants and mammalian cells, may serve as a defence mechanism for the bacteria.

TL;DR: Using high‐performance liquid chromatography, high resolution mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, these results add swarming motility to the rapidly expanding list of phenotypes known to be controlled through quorum sensing.
