Programmable biofilm-based materials from engineered curli nanofibres.
The significant role of biofilms in pathogenicity has spurred research into preventing their formation and promoting their disruption, resulting in overlooked opportunities to develop biofilms as a synthetic biological platform for self-assembling functional materials. Here we present Biofilm-Integrated Nanofiber Display (BIND) as a strategy for the molecular programming of the bacterial extrac...
متن کاملThe prevalence, isolation and morphotyping of potentially pathogenic free-living amoebae from tap water and environmental water sources in Sivas.
OBJECTIVE To our knowledge, there is no study dealing with the prevalence of free-living amoebas (FLA) in water sources in Turkey, previous studies were mostly case presentations. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of FLA from tap water and natural water sources in different parts of the city. METHODS In the study, 250 samples were collected from the city centre, d...
متن کاملEndoscope disinfection using acidic electrolytic water.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The aim of the present study was to evaluate a new endoscope disinfector (WM-1) that uses acidic electrolytic water (AEW). MATERIALS AND METHODS AEW was produced by electrolysis of a 0.05% NaCl-water mixture, with a redox potential greater than 1000 mV and a pH lower than 2.7. In the first study, an endoscope artificially contaminated with 15 species of bacteria and ...
متن کاملBacteriophage Disinfection of Engineered Waste Streams BACTERIOPHAGE DISINFECTION OF ENGINEERED WASTE STREAMS
The threat of bacterial contaminants in water distribution systems and in the environment is of unremitting concern for environmental engineers. This problem is compounded by the overuse of antibiotics and the resulting increased prevalence of antibiotic resistant pathogens in engineered waste streams and hospital wastewater effluents. Through defects in sewer systems these pathogens are furthe...
متن کاملTwo-fluid model of biofilm disinfection.
We consider a dynamic model of biofilm disinfection in two dimensions. The biofilm is treated as a viscous fluid immersed in a fluid of less viscosity. The bulk fluid moves due to an imposed external parabolic flow. The motion of the fluid is coupled to the biofilm inducing motion of the biofilm. Both the biofilm and the bulk fluid are dominated by viscous forces, hence the Reynolds number is n...
