The inside cover picture shows a few examples of small molecules investigated for biofilm control that either inhibit biofilm formation or disperse existing bacterial biofilms. The confocal images show P. aeruginosa:gfp bacteria that have formed a biofilm (upper left) in comparison to a biofilm population dispersed by a 2‐aminoimidazole derivative (lower right). For more details, see the Minireview by C. Melander and J. J. Richards on p. 2287 ff.
