Journal ArticleDOI

Biofilms: an emergent form of bacterial life.

TL;DR: The fundamental role of the biofilm matrix is considered, describing how the characteristic features of biofilms — such as social cooperation, resource capture and enhanced survival of exposure to antimicrobials — all rely on the structural and functional properties of the matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm bacteria by a halogenated furanone compound.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the furanone compound specifically represses expression of a PlasB-gfp reporter fusion without affecting growth or protein synthesis, indicating a general effect on target genes of the las quorum sensing circuit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Should we stay or should we go: mechanisms and ecological consequences for biofilm dispersal.

TL;DR: Recent progress in this emerging field is reviewed and it is suggested that the merging of detailed molecular mechanisms with ecological theory will significantly advance understanding of biofilm biology and ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of Nitric Oxide in Biofilm Dispersal of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exposure to SNP greatly enhanced the efficacy of antimicrobial compounds in the removal of established P. aeruginosa biofilms from a glass surface and combined exposure to both NO and antimicrobial agents may offer a novel strategy to control preestablished, persistent P. aerobicaerobic bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genomic basis of trophic strategy in marine bacteria.

TL;DR: This work compares the genome sequences of two bacteria, Photobacterium angustum S14 and Sphingopyxis alaskensis RB2256, that serve as useful model organisms for copiotrophic and oligotrophic modes of life and relates the genomic features to trophic strategy for these organisms and defines their molecular mechanisms of adaptation.
