Adaptive evolution in single species bacterial biofilms.
Little is known about the dynamics of cellular growth, death, and evolution within bacterial biofilms. Here we show evidence of evolution within single-species biofilms in real time. Escherichia coli harvested from 22-day-old biofilms express a competitive advantage over cells incubated in biofilms for shorter periods of time. This advantage is manifested as the ability of aged cells to outcomp...
متن کاملIn-Situ Quantification of the Interfacial Rheological Response of Bacterial Biofilms to Environmental Stimuli
Understanding the numerous factors that can affect biofilm formation and stability remain poorly understood. One of the major limitations is the accurate measurement of biofilm stability and cohesiveness in real-time when exposed to changing environmental conditions. Here we present a novel method to measure biofilm strength: interfacial rheology. By culturing a range of bacterial biofilms on a...
متن کاملCharacteristics of dual species Candida biofilms on denture acrylic surfaces.
UNLABELLED Biofilms contribute to the pathogenesis of oral candidiasis, some 15% of which may be due to dual Candida species. Despite extensive studies on monospecies biofilms (MSB) on denture acrylic surfaces, few have investigated the characteristics of dual species Candida biofilms (DSB). OBJECTIVES To examine interactions of DSB of Candida albicans and Candida krusei on denture acrylic su...
متن کاملVerticalization of bacterial biofilms
Biofilms are communities of bacteria adhered to surfaces. Recently, biofilms of rod-shaped bacteria were observed at single-cell resolution and shown to develop from a disordered, two-dimensional layer of founder cells into a three-dimensional structure with a vertically-aligned core. Here, we elucidate the physical mechanism underpinning this transition using a combination of agent-based and c...
متن کاملNonlinear rheological response of colloidal glass
I review a first principles approach to the non-linear rheology of dense colloidal dispersions. Assuming homogeneous flow and neglecting hydrodynamic interactions, a theoretical description of the stresses, micro-structure, and particle motion close to a colloidal glass transition are developed. Results for large amplitude oscillatory shearing, step-strains, and other time-dependent transient d...
