Several bacterial species are able to form biofilms, which are cell aggregates attached to biotic or abiotic superficies. These biofilms are composed by cells shrouded by a matrix that hinders the diffusion of antibiotics and antibodies, and are therefore important for the resistance of pathogens. Furthermore, some cells can detach the biofilm under suitable conditions and start new sessi…
Bacterial contaminations have been the focus of the research applied to alcoholic fermentation problems while the contamination by wild yeasts have been scarcely studied. Among these, the yeasts exhibiting wrinkled colonies, with clusters of cells, are very common in the process, although a little is known about their genetic characteristics. They are generally Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a…
