Researchers have looked into the behavior of Listeria monocytogenes related to biofilms and how they support the persistence of the pathogen in food processing environments. A study led by the ...

Elaborating further about their study, Prof. Park says, "We wanted to develop a CS-based biofilm with enhanced food coating properties, and we were hopeful that the incorporation of GA might help ...

Researchers at Chungnam National University in South Korea developed a new edible biofilm, which is claimed to extend the shelf life of fruits, PerishableNews has reported. The biofilm, made from ...

Biofilms, ubiquitous bacterial communities embedded in a slimy matrix, are the oldest form of multicellularity on Earth; they ...

This engineering advantage also provides biofilm bacteria with a continuous source of food (i.e., carbon and other nutrients found in the untreated water), which allows the cells to thrive under ...

Bacterial cells growing in biofilms are physiologically distinct from free-swimming planktonic cells. For example, differences have been shown in motility, polysaccharide production, antibiotic ...
