2 Maresca: Where I’ve been http://chicagouncommon.com/photog raphy/hydepark-032.jpg BA, Biology, University of Chicago 1999 PhD, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Penn State University 2007 http://joepasdoghouse.com Postdoc, Civil & Environmental Engineering, MIT http://web.media.mit.edu

3 Maresca: Microbial biofilms 2 Most microbes in the environment are attached to surfaces Nutrient acquisition Cell-cell communication Metabolic cooperation

4 Microbial biofilms on biochar particles (Smyrna, DE) Interspecies interactions in coastal biofilms: naturally occurring microbes colonizing an artificial substrate (Salem, MA) Interspecies communication on sulfur-containing minerals (Sulfolobus solfataricus) Microbial effects on weathered concrete (with Thomas Schumacher, CEE) Maresca: Microbial biofilms
