Journal ArticleDOI
Composition and Distribution of Extracellular Polymeric Substances in Aerobic Flocs and Granular Sludge
TL;DR: The comparison of EPS extraction methods explains how significant cell lysis and contamination by dead biomass leads to different and opposing conclusions and indicates that granule formation and stability are dependent on a noncellular, protein core.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Rates of Conjugation in Bacterial Biofilms as Determined by Quantitative In Situ Analysis
Martina Hausner,Stefan Wuertz +1 more
TL;DR: Quantitative in situ determination of conjugative gene transfer in defined bacterial biofilms using automated confocal laser scanning microscopy followed by three-dimensional analysis of cellular biovolumes revealed conjugation rates 1,000-fold higher than those determined by classical plating techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy and Semiautomated Image Processing for Analysis of Biofilms
Martin Kuehn,Martina Hausner,Hans-Joachim Bungartz,Michael Wagner,Peter A. Wilderer,Stefan Wuertz +5 more
TL;DR: A method for the routine measurements of biofilms by using automated image acquisition and semiautomated image analysis and a three-dimensional reconstruction of the principal biological events can be achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
A vista for microbial ecology and environmental biotechnology.
Bruce E. Rittmann,Martina Hausner,Frank E. Löffler,Nancy G. Love,Gerard Muyzer,Satoshi Okabe,Daniel B. Oerther,Jordan Peccia,Lutgarde Raskin,Michael Wagner +9 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial communities and their interactions in biofilm systems: an overview.
TL;DR: Overall, knowledge gain about microbial community interactions in biofilms continues to be driven by the availability of methods for the rapid analysis of microbial communities and their activities.
