Modeling bacterial attachment to surfaces as an early stage of biofilm development.
Biofilms are present in all natural, medical and industrial surroundings where bacteria live. Biofilm formation is a key factor in the growth and transport of both beneficial and harmful bacteria. While much is known about the later stages of biofilm formation, less is known about its initiation which is an important first step in the biofilm formation. In this paper, we develop a non-linear sy...
متن کاملThe rose petal effect and the modes of superhydrophobicity.
The wetting of rough surfaces remains a subject of active investigation by scientists. The contact angle (CA) is a traditional parameter used to characterize the hydrophobicity/philicity of a solid surface. However, it was found recently that high CAs can coexist with strong adhesion between water and a solid surface in the case of the so-called 'rose petal effect'. Several additional parameter...
متن کاملControl of bacterial biofilm growth on surfaces by nanostructural mechanics and geometry.
Surface-associated communities of bacteria, called biofilms, pervade natural and anthropogenic environments. Mature biofilms are resistant to a wide range of antimicrobial treatments and therefore pose persistent pathogenic threats. The use of surface chemistry to inhibit biofilm growth has been found to only transiently affect initial attachment. In this work, we investigate the tunable effect...
متن کاملMonodisperse Emulsion Drop Microenvironments for Bacterial Biofilm Growth.
In this work, microfluidic technology is used to rapidly create hundreds of thousands of monodisperse double and triple emulsion drops that serve as 3D microenvironments for the containment and growth of bacterial biofilms. The size of these drops, with diameters from tens to hundreds of micrometers, makes them amenable to rapid manipulation and analysis. This is demonstrated by using microscop...
متن کاملSenescence and the Fluidity of Rose Petal Membranes : RELATIONSHIP TO PHOSPHOLIPID METABOLISM.
In previous work, senescence of rose petal cells has been shown to be accompanied by a gradual decrease of membrane fluidity, as measured by a fluorescence polarization technique. Concomitantly, an increase in the free sterol-to-phospholipid ratio was found. Both observations were verified in this study. Further, experiments carried out on whole tissue and isolated protoplasts during senescence...
