ABSTRACT: Microbial communities called biofilms are complex structures that adhere to surfaces and encased in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). These formations found throughout nature play crucial role the survival microorganisms various environments. The development occurs several stages: first, there is initial surface contact; next permanent attachment; then small colonies formed; this followed by full development; finally, dispersal. Various factors influence biofilm formation, such as substratum effects, hydrodynamics, environmental conditions. Biofilms pose significant challenges healthcare, food processing, other industries due their increased resistance antimicrobial agents potential for contamination. Recent advances imaging techniques have revolutionized study biofilms, providing insights into structure, composition, physiology. Light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning (SEM), confocal laser (CLSM), atomic force (AFM) among most commonly used characterization. Other advanced techniques, AFM-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR), fluorescent situ hybridization (FISH), Raman spectroscopy, ATP bioluminescence, mass spectrometry, quantitative real-time PCR analysis, Bio Finder, offer complementary approaches investigating chemical gene expression. Choosing right method depends on specific research goals required spatial temporal accuracy. Combining different can provide comprehensive understanding behavior help develop effective strategies managing eliminating biofilms.

We prove that it is impossible to distinguish two spatially coinciding fluorescent molecules from a single rotating molecule using polarization-sensitive imaging, even if one modulates the polarization of illumination or detection dipole-spread function (DSF). If target known be dipole pair, existing imaging methods perform poorly for measuring their angular separation. propose simultaneously modulating excitation and DSF, which demonstrates robust discrimination between pairs versus molecules. Our method improves precision centroid orientation by 50% separation two- four-fold over techniques.

Abstract Fluorescence nanoscopy and single‐molecule methods are entering the realm of structural biology, breaking new ground for dynamic measurements at room temperature liquid environments. Here, localization microscopy, polarization‐dependent excitation, protein engineering combined to determine orientation a fluorophore forming hydrogen bonds inside cavity. The observed conformations in good agreement with molecular dynamics simulations, enabling new, more realistic interplay between experiments simulations identify stable key interactions involved. Furthermore, jumps can be monitored precision 3° time resolution few seconds, confirming potential this methodology retrieving information nanoscopic biological systems under physiologically compatible conditions.
