Vibrios are natural inhabitants of aquatic environments and form symbiotic or pathogenic
relationships with eukaryotic hosts. Recent studies reveal that the ability of vibrios to form …

Nearly all bacteria form biofilms as a strategy for survival and persistence. Biofilms are
associated with biotic and abiotic surfaces and are composed of aggregates of cells that are …

Microorganisms in the natural environment typically live on or in close association with
surfaces and predominantly exist as biofilms, surface attached microbial communities …

The rugose colony variant of Vibrio cholerae O1, biotype El Tor, is shown to produce an
exopolysaccharide, EPSETr, that confers chlorine resistance and biofilm-forming capacity …

Microorganisms can switch from a planktonic, free-swimming life-style to a sessile, colonial
state, called a biofilm, which confers resistance to environmental stress. Conversion …

Persistence of the opportunistic bacterial pathogen Vibrio cholerae in aquatic environments
is the principal cause for seasonal occurrence of cholera epidemics. This causality has been …

In their natural environment, microbes organize into communities held together by an
extracellular matrix composed of polysaccharides and proteins. We have developed an in …

The first edition of Minimally Processed and Refrigerated Fruits and Vegetables, edited by
Robert C. Wiley and Fatih Yildiz, was published in 1994. At the time of publication, this was a …

Reversible phase variation between the rugose and smooth colony variants is predicted to
be important for the survival of Vibrio cholerae in natural aquatic habitats. Microarray …

Ambient energy harvesting is also known as energy scavenging or power harvesting, and it
is the process where energy is obtained from the environment. A variety of techniques are …
