As in a batch of kombucha or a barrel of sherry, microbes can assemble into a mat-like layer at the boundary between air and liquid. In laboratory culture, the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived skin organoids (SKOs) generate sweat and sebaceous glands when differentiated using air-liquid interface conditions. a) Representative bright-field ...

In the evolving landscape of materials science, the emergence of liquid-solid composites has revolutionized the field by introducing the dynamic composite interfaces and leveraging the fluidic nature ...

• Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 repeatedly evolves mat-like structures at an air–liquid interface within a few days in the lab. • The original, ancestral type colonises the interface first and ...
