Current methods for monitoring Pseudomonas syringae biofilm development
Summary
This paper is not about microplastics — it reviews microscopy and spectroscopy techniques used to study biofilm formation, with a focus on the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae.
This work reviews biofilm investigation techniques and highlights the benefits and drawbacks of each approach focusing especially on Pseudomonas syringae and may serve as a comprehensive guide for any early-career researchers starting with the topic of biofilm. Each approach with applications of individual microscopy and spectroscopy techniques is summarized together with characterization of Pseudomonas syringae and its role in pathogenesis.

[Applications of biofilm in environmental pollution control and the related challenges].
This review examines biofilm structure, formation mechanisms, and community composition as applied to environmental pollution control, covering removal of heavy metals and organic pollutants, and discussing emerging challenges including plastisphere dynamics, antibiotic resistance gene spread, and pathogen accumulation in biofilm-pollutant interactions.
Non-Invasive Measurement, Mathematical Simulation and In Situ Detection of Biofilm Evolution in Porous Media: A Review
Researchers used non-invasive techniques and mathematical models to study how bacterial biofilms form and clog porous materials in subsurface environments. Biofilm formation on microplastics — the so-called Plastisphere — is a key mechanism by which these particles interact with microbial communities in soil and water.
Characteristics of Initial Attachment and Biofilm Formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on Microplastic Surfaces
Researchers characterized how Pseudomonas aeruginosa initially attaches to and forms biofilms on different microplastic surfaces, finding that polymer type and surface properties significantly influenced bacterial colonization patterns and biofilm development.
Investigating Biofilms: Advanced Methods for Comprehending Microbial Behavior and Antibiotic Resistance
This review summarizes recent advances in biofilm research, focusing on how communities of microorganisms form protective layers on surfaces and become resistant to antibiotics. The sticky matrix that holds biofilms together plays a key role in spreading antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria. While not directly about microplastics, the findings are relevant because microplastics in the environment serve as surfaces where these resistant biofilms can form and spread.
Adding Metal Ions to the Bacillus mojavensis D50 Promotes Biofilm Formation and Improves Ability of Biocontrol
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research — it studies how metal ions promote biofilm formation in a bacterial biocontrol strain used against plant fungal pathogens.
