• Biofilm and Nanowire Production Leads to Increased Current in Geobacter sulfurreducens Fuel Cells (2006, background): “Furthermore, it is well known that in other organisms pili play an important role in the early stages of biofilm formation (15), as well as cell cluster maturation (9), on a variety of surfaces.”
• Bacterial cell attachment, the beginning of a biofilm (2007, background): “[57] reported that the flagella of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were not a necessary factor in the initial attachment of this organism to a solid surface, but played a role in biofilm development.”
• Antibiotic resistance of bacterial biofilms. (2010, methodology): “This technique has been combined with 81 advanced in silico image-analysing to produce 3-D images of biofilm (15, 16) (17).”
• Bacterial Biofilms: Development, Dispersal, and Therapeutic Strategies in the Dawn of the Postantibiotic Era (2013, background): “Besides flagella, P. aeruginosa uses type IV pili-mediated twitching motility to wade through the liquid interface and contact the surface, maintain adherence, and move across the attachment plane (O’Toole and Kolter 1998; Klausen et al. 2003a,b).”
• The role of bacterial biofilms in chronic infections (2013, background): “(A) Attachment, (B) microcolony formation by clonal growth, (C) the bacteria spread out on the substratum, (D) the clonal populations mix [adapted from (23) with permission from the publisher].”
• Critical review on biofilm methods (2017, background): “…strains, it is also possible to genetically modify organisms to render them auto-fluorescent, for example through the expression of the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) or a multicolor variant (Figure 10(A,B)) (Klausen et al., 2003b; Sanchez-Vizuete et al., 2015; Tolker-Nielsen & Sternberg, 2014).”
• Biofilm formation in food industries: A food safety concern (2013, background): “depending on the nutrient source it is reliant upon (Chmielewski & Frank, 2003; Klausen et al., 2003).”
