Biosurfactants Change the Thinning of Contaminated Bubbles at Bacteria-Laden Water Interfaces
Bubbles reside at the water surface before bursting, emitting droplets that can contain chemicals and pathogens linked to disease and contamination. We discover that bacterial secretions enhance the lifetime of bubbles. We also reveal and elucidate two distinct regimes of thinning for such contamina...
