Biofilms Bacterial biofilms are ubiquitous. Find out how the swimming behavior of bacteria affects attachment to surfaces and the subsequent formation of biofilms. Bioremediation What we view as chemical pollutants in groundwater, bacteria see as a new carbon source for their diet. The trick is getting the bacteria and the contaminant together so they can go to work on cleaning up our mess. See how chemotaxis may enhance the remediation process.
Some microorganisms love the heat.
Learn how they find the hot spots and what keeps them coming back for more. See how we're modeling bacterial motility.
