Microorganisms rarely live alone. Instead, they form dense, organized communities known as biofilms, structured assemblies of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes embedded in a shared matrix. These communities coat plant roots, line human tissues, and support essential processes like nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and protection against disease. Researchers are now suggesting that biofilms may alsoContinue Reading
