TLDR
The results obtained indicated that the extract and fractions of T. gigas had significant detachment mode of actions for antifouling activities, which may provide new insight into the defence mechanism of the horseshoe crabs against biofilm formation.Abstract:
Horseshoe crabs have survived for a long period due to their myriad defence mechanism. Thorough studies were conducted on their adaptive defence mechanisms but few highlighted their primary innate ...read more

Microtiter dish biofilm formation assay.
TL;DR: The ease, low cost and flexibility of the microtiter plate assay has made it a critical tool for the study of biofilm formation, and this protocol will focus on the use of this assay to studyBiofilm formation by the model organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Signals, regulatory networks, and materials that build and break bacterial biofilms
Ece Karatan,Paula I. Watnick +1 more
TL;DR: A portion of this large body of work including the environmental signals and signaling pathways that regulate biofilm formation, the components of the biofilm matrix, and the mechanisms and regulation of biofilm dispersal are reviewed.

Growing and analyzing static biofilms
TL;DR: In this article, the early stages of biofilm formation are examined using static biofilm assays, which are suitable for either small or relatively large-scale studies and can be used individually or in combination for the study of biofilms.

D-amino acids trigger biofilm disassembly.
TL;DR: It is found that d-amino acids found in conditioned medium from mature biofilms of Bacillus subtilis prevent biofilm formation and trigger existing biofilm disassembly, and may be a widespread signal for bio Film disassembly.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the interaction between higher organisms and their surface-associated bacteria may be mediated by interference with bacterial regulatory systems.
