RT @UoDLifeSciences
Microscopes help scientists study #biofilms A recent study from Micheal Porter, @DavidsonFordyce, @sciorama, @bacteriacities shows how division of bacteria in the biofilm periphery results in radial expansion.

Now, #phages! In this #Manage Article, Ronan McCarthy
et al identified a number of endolysins that could be used to treat vaginosis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis biofilms.

When we talk #Biofilms we often think about bacteria and overlook other important organisms. In this Article, Campbell Gourlay
et al show that CO2 enhances the formation of pathogenic Candida albicans biofilms.
