Mashup Score: 3Vibrio cholerae biofilms use modular adhesins with glycan-targeting and nonspecific surface binding domains for colonization - Nature Communications - 11 month(s) ago
Bacteria often express multiple adhesive proteins (adhesins) for biofilm formation, but it is often unclear whether adhesins have specialized or redundant roles. Here, the authors show that Vibrio cholerae uses two adhesins with overlapping but distinct functions to achieve robust adhesion to diverse surfaces.

Mashup Score: 27
Bacterial biofilms exhibit a clock and wavefront process that spatially patterns sporulation without requiring long-range diffusion of molecular signals and is reminiscent of patterning mechanisms previously thought to be exclusive to plants and animals.

Mashup Score: 0Antibiotic-Resistant Biofilm Survives Silver Bullet - 2 year(s) ago
New research from scientists at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) demonstrates long-term nanosilver treatment can increase the risk of recurrent infections of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic strains that form biofilms. The scientists show nanosilver kills 99.99% P. aeruginosa in a sample population but the 0.01% cells that persist resume normal growth once the nanoparticle treatment is…

Mashup Score: 5Forecasting of phenotypic and genetic outcomes of experimental evolution in Pseudomonas protegens - 2 year(s) ago
Author summary Biological evolution is often repeatable in the short-term suggesting the possibility of forecasting and controlling evolutionary outcomes. In addition to its fundamental importance for biology, evolutionary processes are at the core of several major societal problems, including infectious diseases, cancer and adaptation to climate change. Experimental evolution allows study of…
