TL;DR: The events involved in bacterial biofilm formation are described, the negative and positive aspects associated with bacterial biofilms are listed, the main strategies currently used to regulate establishment of harmful bacterial bioFilms are elaborated as well as certain strategies employed to encourage formation of beneficial bacterialBiofilms.

TL;DR: The findings of the present study indicate that WS could be ideal materials for production of monomeric sugars with proper pretreatments and effective enzymatic base hydrolysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors are grateful to professor Zongchao Jia (Queen's University, Canada) and Dr. Xiaofeng Xie (Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, China) for their revision of the manuscript.

TL;DR: The uptake and biomineralization of Pb(II) using Bacillus cereus 12-2 isolated from lead-zinc mine tailings was investigated and it was proposed that enzyme-mediated mineral transformation from amorphous precipitate to rod-shaped crystalline minerals happening gradually inside the bacteria.

TL;DR: A strategy combining the advantages of both planktonic cells and biofilms was proposed, and a successful Cr(VI) removal from typical Cr( VI)-containing plating wastewater was achieved through a 10-L pilot-scale experiment.
