Biofouling of reverse osmosis membranes: Role of biofilm-enhanced osmotic pressure (2007, background): “In P. aeruginosa, this process is mediated by surface translocation through twitching motility, attributed to type IV pili [ 25 ].”
Amyloid fibers provide structural integrity to Bacillus subtilis biofilms (2010, background): “B form complex, structured communities called biofilms in response to diverse environmental cues (1).”

Biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa wild type, flagella and type IV pili mutants (2003, background): “The generally accepted model for P. aeruginosa biofilm development is based largely on studies of the heterogeneous P. aeruginosa biofilm (e.g. Costerton et al., 1999; O’Toole et al., 2000; Stoodley et al., 2002) and does not explain the formation of the flat P. aeruginosa biofilm.”
Irrigation Waters as a Source of Pathogenic Microorganisms in Produce (2011, background): “High water velocities may increase the level of nutrients in contact with the biofilm, on one hand, and also cause greater shearing of biofilms that may contain pathogens from the pipe surface, on the other hand (O’Toole et al., 2000).”
The role of bacterial biofilms in chronic infections (2013, background): “sion of a specific biofilm program (36, 37).”
Biological Degradation of Polymers in the Environment (2019, background): “Communities of microorganisms attached to a surface are referred to as biofilms [31].”
Biofilm formation by a Bacillus subtilis strain that produces γ-polyglutamate (2006, background): “Biofilm formation occurs in many settings, and in response to diverse environmental cues (O’Toole et al., 2000; Parsek & Greenberg, 2005).”
Size doesn’t matter: towards a more inclusive philosophy of biology (2007, background): “…than do planktonic prokaryotes (Davey and O’Toole 2000). researchers have emphasized their biological aspects (over their physico-chemical) and begun to conceptualize biofilm formation as a multicellular developmental process (Davies 2000; O’Toole et al. 2000; Stewart and Costerton 2001).”
