Hi everyone,

VK and I are planning to run the first Biofilms Subgroup meeting on July 30th. If you’re interested in joining, please check out the information on the Microbial AWG hub and drop me an email to the contact details listed there with the subject line ‘Microbes AWG Biofilm Subgroup’. I’ll send out the meeting link to those who would like to join closer to the date.

I would like to join this group, I have done some previous work on biofilms in simulated microgravity before.

Hi Vinothkannan,
Did you see the work done by Kripa Varanasi from MIT in treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa film with textured surfaces impregnated?

Hi all
Warm Greetings!
Glad to see this group.
We have done work on long-term adaptation of E. coli to simulated microgravity, published 2 papers on the same. Our results suggested possible selection of genes linked with bacterial adhesion & hence biofilm formation.

Hi @mrtirum2 Madhan, welcome! Come join us at our next Biofilm Subgroup meeting on Tuesday October 29th at 7pm CET/1pm ET/10am PT- our meetings are on the last Tuesday of every month. As Ryan says we have a draft review underway and at our October meeting we we plan to allocate sections of the review to members to work on.
