• Biological Degradation of Polymers in the Environment (2019, background): “Further research is required to provide the understanding of microbial components involved in biofilm development and regulation of their production to assemble to various facets of this complex microbial phenomenon [38].”
• Tuned, driven, and active soft matter (2015, background): “Biofilms are surface- or interface-attached communities of microorganisms [398, 399], in nature usually composed of more than one species [400, 401].”
• Extracellular enzyme kinetics scale with resource availability (2014, background): “…the spa- tial distribution and metabolism of individual cells and populations to maximize community growth through mechanisms such as quorum sensing, substrate chan- neling and syntrophy (Faust and Raes 2012; Huang et al. 2013; Elias and Banin 2012; Strickland et al. 2013; Zhuang et al. 2013).”
• The Paradox of Mixed-Species Biofilms in the Context of Food Safety (2014, background): “Rendueles and Ghigo (2012) suggest that in multispecies biofilms, 1 species may act as unfriendly and competitive neighbor, whereas conflicting reports indicate that different species may cooperate (Elias and Banin 2012).”
• Biological individuality: the case of biofilms (2012, background): “Different species within a biofilm detoxify different chemicals for other species in a biofilm (Stewart and Franklin 2008; Elias and Banin 2012).”
• Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “Coaggregation draws different microorganisms into close spatial juxtaposition within multispecies biofilms, which not only may increase the diversity of species composition and metabolic pathways of the community but also may enhance the opportunity for and efficiency of cell-cell signaling, metabol”
