Planktonic-cell yield of a pseudomonad biofilm
Article Abstract:
The growth rates in biofilms like Pseudomonas sp. strain CT07 cells are determined. The biofilm-detached cells are more sensitive to a commercial biocide than associated biofilm- and chemostat-cultivated populations, which imply that detached biofilm cells display a character that is distinct from that of attached and planktonic cell populations.

Analysis of structural and physiological profiles to assess the effects of Cu on biofilm microbial communities
Article Abstract:
The effects of copper on the structural and physiology of freshwater biofilm microbial communities were investigated. The results indicate that copper affected the physiology of the biofilm and had an effect on the structure of the communities composing this biofilm.

Effects of heavy fuel oil on the bacterial community structure of a pristine microbial mat
Article Abstract:
The consequences of fuel oil contamination on microbial community structure are presented. Results conclude crucial changes taking place in microbial community due to contamination and their resilience against the contamination.
