On a ship’s hull, bacterial colonies can become a base for seaweed and other growth that increases drag. In 2016, America’s armed forces reckoned unwanted biofilms cost “billions” each year.

We also know that bacterial colonies that are exposed to antibiotics can rapidly overcome the detrimental effects of those antibiotics. Two blue-colored, spherical, methicillin-resistant, ...
