On one hand, we are interested in designing useful biofilms that combine metabolically complementary bacteria into functional systems. On the other hand, we are looking at novel ways to inhibit primary adhesion of cells to surfaces, in order to prevent the formation of problem biofilms . Chromium-reducing, dual species biofilm. Individual Escherichia coli appear as yellow green. They can help combine multiple degradative pathways into a single functional system.
Staphylococcus grows on a presumably safe catheter.
