Biofilm Formation on Polymeric Heat Transfer Surfaces

The biofouling affinity on different polymeric surfaces (PP, PSU, PET, PEEK) in comparison with SS 1.4301 was studied using the model bacterium E.coli K12 DSM 498. A test rig with seven identical chambers allowed investigations at different system conditions (throughputs, inclination of the heat transfer cell, etc.). The biofilm mass deposited on the polymer surfaces was several magnitudes smal...

Biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus from food contact surfaces in a meat-based broth and sensitivity to sanitizers

This study assessed the capacity of adhesion, the detachment kinetic and the biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus isolated from food services on stainless steel and polypropylene surfaces (2 × 2 cm) when cultivated in a meat-based broth at 28 and 7 °C. It was also to study the efficacy of the sanitizers sodium hypochlorite (250 mg/L) and peracetic acid (30 mg/L) in inactivating the bacter...

Biofilm Formation by the Hexavalent Chromium Removing Strain Streptococcus salivarius: in Vitro Approach on Abiotic Surfaces

In this study, a strain of lactic acid bacteria Streptococcus salivarius was studied for its capacity to remove hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) from a liquid medium and to form biofilm. Both properties are useful for using the strain in bioremediation of metal-contaminated effluents. For biofilm formation capacity, three methods were used: the tube method (TM), the Congo red agar method (CRA) and...
