Effects of biofilm formation in bacteria from different perspectives
Bacterial communities are able to form complex and three-dimensional biofilm structures. Biofilm formation is an ancient and integral component of the prokaryotic life cycle and a key factor for survival in diverse niches. In biofilms, bacterial lifestyle changes from free-floating cells to sessile cells. Presence in biofilms gives new traits to bacteria, which distinguish them from free cells....
متن کاملAttachment of Balanus amphitrite larvae to biofilms originating from contrasting environments
This study examined the attachment response of Balanus amphitrite larvae to bacteriadominated biofilms originating from 4 sites of varying environmental conditions in the intertidal region of subtropical Hong Kong waters and during 2 seasons (winter and summer), under both laboratory and field conditions. Using multiple fingerprinting techniques (terminal restriction fragment length polymorphis...
متن کاملGrowth in catheter biofilms and antibiotic resistance of Mycobacterium avium.
Cells of Mycobacterium avium strain A5 adhered to plasticized polyvinyl chloride catheter tubing and grew at low nutrient concentration, consistent with reports of catheter-associated M. avium infection. Starting with initial cell densities of 1-2x10(6) c.f.u. ml-1, biofilms of approximately 350 c.f.u. cm-2 formed within 24 h at room temperature. Growth rates of cells in biofilms were exponenti...
متن کاملThe effect of hydrodynamic conditions on the phenotype of Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms.
This study investigated the phenotypic characteristics of monoculture P. fluorescens biofilms grown under turbulent and laminar flow, using flow cells reactors with stainless steel substrata. The cellular physiology and the overall biofilm activity, structure and composition were characterized, and compared, within hydrodynamically distinct conditions. The results indicate that turbulent flow-g...
متن کاملThe role of hydrodynamic stress on the phenotypic characteristics of single and binary biofilms of Pseudomonas fluorescens.
This study investigates the phenotype of turbulent (Re = 5,200) and laminar (Re = 2,000) flow-generated Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms. Three P. fluorescens strains, the type strain ATCC 13525 and two strains isolated from an industrial processing plant, D3-348 and D3-350, were used throughout this study. The isolated strains were used to form single and binary biofilms. The biofilm physiolog...
