Journal ArticleDOI
Candida albicans stimulates Streptococcus mutans microcolony development via cross-kingdom biofilm-derived metabolites.

TL;DR: The data revealed that bacterial-fungal derived conditioned medium (BF-CM) significantly increased the growth of S. mutans and altered biofilm 3D-architecture in a dose-dependent manner, resulting in enlarged and densely packed bacterial cell-clusters (microcolonies).
Journal ArticleDOI
One-Step Generation of Cell-Encapsulating Compartments via Polyelectrolyte Complexation in an Aqueous Two Phase System.
TL;DR: This method paves the way to the formation of a broad variety of versatile functional membranes around all aqueous capsules; by tuning the fluxes of complexing species to interact at the interface, membranes comprising other complexing functional moieties can be formed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An in-depth survey of the oil spill literature since 1968: Long term trends and changes since Deepwater Horizon.

TL;DR: There is a massive post-Deepwater Horizon shift of research attention to the Gulf of Mexico, from 2% of studies in 2004-2008 to 61% in 2014-2015, thus ranking Deepwater Horizon as the most studied oil spill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling Pseudomonas aeruginosa persister cells by weak electrochemical currents and synergistic effects with tobramycin.
TL;DR: It is reported that bacterial persister cells can be effectively eliminated by low-level direct currents (DCs) and synergistic effects were observed when treating Persister cells with 70 μA/cm(2) DC and 1.5 μg/mL tobramycin together using SS304 electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Films of bacteria at interfaces
TL;DR: The formation of FBI is discussed at air-water, oil- water, and water-water interfaces, with an emphasis on film mechanics, and with some allusion to genetic functions guiding bacteria to restructure fluid interfaces.
