The effect of environment on the biofilm formation and the production of exopolymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this work was to examine the ability of phenol degrading Candida maltosa to produce exopolymers and form biofilm under different nutrient conditions. Glass and synthetic foil surfaces were chosen for the assessment of biofilm growth. The results show that any stimulation of biofilm formation is achieved under those nutrient conditions that enhance exopolymer production. In comparison with suspended yeast cells, the efficiency of phenol degradation by biofilm cells is enhanced as well.

Background and purpose: Dental plaque is a biofilm that is formed on the surface of the tooth. Carious lesions are caused by inappropriate ecological changes in microbial flora of the plaque biofilm. In this study, the effect of Lactobacillus casei bacteriocin, isolated from dairy products, was investigated on Streptococcus salivarius biofilm formation. Materials and methods: In this experimen...
متن کاملBiofilm Formation and Detection of IcaAB Genes in Clinical Isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Objective(s) Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of nosocomial and community infections. Biofilm formation, mediated by a polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) and encoded by the ica operon, is considered to be an important virulence factor in both S. epidermidis and S. aureus. However, the clinical impact of the ica locus and PIA production is less w...
