Biofilm formation of mucosa-associated methanoarchaeal strains

Biofilm formation of mucosa-associated methanoarchaeal strains

Although in nature most microorganisms are known to occur predominantly in consortia or biofilms, data on archaeal biofilm formation are in general scarce. Here, the ability of three methanoarchaeal strains, Methanobrevibacter smithii and Methanosphaera stadtmanae, which form part of the human gut m...
