<i>Listeria monocytogenes</i>: biofilm formation and persistence in food-processing environments

Trond Møretrø, Solveig Langsrud · 1 Apr 2004

Listeria monocytogenes is ubiquitous in nature and a major concern for the food industry, since it is the causal agent of the serious foodborne illness listeriosis. This organism can be introduced through many routes to food-processing environments and may become established on food-processing equipment. Subsequently, food products may become contaminated during processing. In addition, the…

Transcriptome analysis of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> biofilm development: anaerobic respiration and iron limitation

Morten Hentzer, Leo Eberl, Michael Givskov · 1 Jan 2005

In nature, bacteria are able to form complex surface-attached communities called biofilms. Microbial biofilms pose a particular problem in many human infections because of an inherent tolerance to antimicrobial agents and host immune killing and clearance. We have used complementary DNA (cDNA) microarray technology to identify Pseudomonas aeruginosa genes that are differentially expressed in growing…

Rheology of biofilms formed from the dental plaque pathogen <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>

A. M. Vinogradov, M. Winston, Cory J. Rupp et al. · 1 Jan 2004

Here we describe an experimental study of the mechanical properties of bacterial biofilms formed from the early dental plaque colonizer Streptococcus mutans . The S. mutans biofilms demonstrated the behavior of rheological fluids, with properties similar to those of organic polymers and other biological fluids. The time-dependent response of the biofilms was modeled on the…

A role for rhamnolipid in biofilm dispersion

Sarah R. Schooling, U. K. Charaf, David Allison et al. · 1 Apr 2004

Biofilms are often considered as localized zones of high cell density. Quorum sensing provides a means for control of population processes and has been implicated in the regulation of biofilm activities. We present a role for quorum sensing in programmed detachment and dispersal processes. Biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and its isogenic homoserine lactone (HSL)…

Pathogenic viruses in drinking-water biofilms: a public health risk?

Sylvain Skraber, Jack Schijven, Christophe Gantzer et al. · 1 Apr 2005

Biofilms in drinking-water distribution systems may accumulate human pathogenic viruses. Viruses that attach to biofilm are removed from the water phase improving the water quality. However, if released in slough, it may still present a risk of infection. This review describes the available data on the presence of pathogenic viruses in drinking-water biofilms. First, biofilms…

Biofilms template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biofilms format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biofilms template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Cambridge University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biofilms use?
Biofilms uses Numbered references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, A representative article title, Biofilms 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biofilms?
No. DocuGuru generates the null LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Cambridge University Press-ready Biofilms document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biofilms template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biofilms format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Biofilms?
Biofilms is a multidisciplinary journal published by Cambridge University Press. DocuGuru's Biofilms template matches Cambridge University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Biofilms PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biofilms template (the null class) that is ready to submit to Cambridge University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biofilms template cost?
You can start writing in the Biofilms template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biofilms PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
