Dental restoratives are a perfect surface for the prolific growth of bacterial biofilm cultures. S. gordonii in particular is a pioneering colonizer of tooth surfaces, allowing other bacteria to ...

Bacteria are traditionally imagined as single-cell organisms, spread out sparsely over surfaces or suspended in liquids, but in many environments the true bacterial mode of growth is in sticky ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...

A laboratory-grown Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm. 3D images were acquired by an advanced light sheet theta microscopy system (ClearScope) developed in Columbia’s Department of Biological Sciences.

Confocal laser scanning microscopy of Salmonella wet biofilm (WSB) and dry surface biofilm (DSB). The DSB displays a distinctive "sandwich-like" vertical structure, as revealed in the cross-sectional ...

A recent study published in npj | Biofilms and Microbiomes explored biofilm maturation and dispersal dynamics in Bacillus ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...
