	<description>Microorganisms can attach to surfaces or interfaces and organize in highly complex structures called biofilms.  The discovery of microbial life organized in these complex structures has been recognized as a subject that is revolutionary enough that may transform the science of microbiology.  The understanding of the importance of biofilms, how they develop and their properties are relatively recent facts; thus, this blog aims to contribute with this understanding.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got this video from youtube, created by John Libler and his team at XVIVO at Harvard Univrsity, as part of the BioVisions program. It portrays a great variety of processes occurring inside a cell, such as DNA translation, diapedesis, microtubule depolymerization and vesicular transport along the cytoskeleton. Quite an amazing work.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=biofilms.wordpress.com&amp;blog=792078&amp;post=23&amp;subd=biofilms&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finding even the tiniest life forms out of our planet Earth is extremely exciting. Microorganisms are spread throughout many ecosystems, living under a great diversity of &#8220;extreme&#8221; conditions (e.g. very high or low temperatures, anaerobic environments, desiccation, etc.). This ability makes these organisms potential candidates for living under extraterrestrial atmospheres, as it is reasonable to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=biofilms.wordpress.com&amp;blog=792078&amp;post=21&amp;subd=biofilms&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
