A mesocosm experiment investigating the effects of substratum quality and wave exposure on the survival of fish eggs [PDF]

, 2010
In a mesocosm experiment, the attachment of bream (Abramis brama) eggs to spawning substrata with and without periphytic biofilm coverage and their subsequent survival with and without low-intensity wave exposure were investigated.

Effect of temperature, pH and plasmids on in vitro biofilm formation in Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2018
Acid resistance (AR) in Escherichia coli is an important trait that protects this microorganism from the deleterious effect of low-pH environments. Reports on biofilm formation in E.

A Novel Conserved Protein in Streptococcus agalactiae, BvaP, Is Important for Vaginal Colonization and Biofilm Formation

mSphere, 2022
Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]) infections in neonates are often fatal and strongly associated with maternal GBS vaginal colonization. Here, we investigated the role of an uncharacterized protein, BvaP, in GBS vaginal colonization.

Development of an in vitro periodontal biofilm model for assessing antimicrobial and host modulatory effects of bioactive molecules [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Inflammation within the oral cavity occurs due to dysregulation between microbial biofilms and the host response. Understanding how different oral hygiene products influence inflammatory properties is important for the development of new ...

Effect of surface roughness, biofilm coverage and biofilm structure on the electrochemical efficiency of microbial cathodes [PDF]

, 2011
Biofilms of Geobacter sulfurreducens were formed under chronoamperometry at −0.5 V and −0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl on stainless steel cathodes and tested for fumarate reduction.

A Statistical Modeling Approach to Computer-Aided Quantification of Dental Biofilm [PDF]

, 2014
Biofilm is a formation of microbial material on tooth substrata. Several methods to quantify dental biofilm coverage have recently been reported in the literature, but at best they provide a semi-automated approach to quantification with significant ...

Staphylococcal Biofilms [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2008
ABSTRACTStaphylococci, with the leading speciesStaphylococcus aureusandStaphylococcus epidermidis, are the most frequent causes of infections on indwelling medical devices. The biofilm phenotype that those bacteria adopt during device-associated infection facilitates increased resistance to antibiotics and host immune defenses. This review presents and

Involvement of NADH Oxidase in Biofilm Formation in Streptococcus sanguinis [PDF]

, 2016
Biofilms play important roles in microbial communities and are related to infectious diseases. Here, we report direct evidence that a bacterial nox gene encoding NADH oxidase is involved in biofilm formation. A dramatic reduction in biofilm formation was

The sociobiology of biofilms [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2009
Biofilms are densely packed communities of microbial cells that grow on surfaces and surround themselves with secreted polymers. Many bacterial species form biofilms, and their study has revealed them to be complex and diverse. The structural and physiological complexity of biofilms has led to the idea that they are coordinated and cooperative groups ...
