In bench experiments different 'fuels' (sugar, fru... Read More about Energetically autonomous robots: Food for thought.

Biofilm formation and cellulose expression among diverse environmental Pseudomonas isolates (2006)
Journal Article
Ude, S., Arnold, D. L., Moon, C. D., Timms-Wilson, T., & Spiers, A. J. (2006). Biofilm formation and cellulose expression among diverse environmental Pseudomonas isolates. Environmental Microbiology, 8(11), 1997-2011. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-2920.2006.01080.x

The ability to form biofilms is seen as an increasingly important colonization strategy among both pathogenic and environmental bacteria. A survey of 185 plant-associated, phytopathogenic, soil and river Pseudomonas isolates resulted in 76% producing...
