Biofilms articles from across Nature Portfolio

This study shows that substrate stiffness has an impact on early microcolony formation.

This study analysed sorption, stability and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in sewers.

Progress in biomimetics allows for the fabrication of man-made materials and surfaces with properties similar to biological ones. These advancements enable the development of a new generation of building materials for architecture that have remarkable properties typically unachievable with a traditional approach.

The biofilm community has historically been very successful in aggregating scientists from very diverse fields. Now, we must harness innovative technologies across disciplines to illuminate the biofilm microenvironment and create in vitro models that accurately recapitulate natural environments.

This study shows how Fusobacterium nucleatum integrates a metabolic network in the oral microbiota.
