Processes governing primary biofilm formation
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1982AbstractBiofilm accumulation under turbulent flow condition on the surface of a circular tube is the net result of several process including the following: (1) transport and firm adhesion of soluble components and microbial cell to the surface; (2) metabolic conversions within the biofilm in cluding growth and maintenance decay process; (3) detachment ...

Biofilm Formation as Microbial Development
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2000▪ Abstract  Biofilms can be defined as communities of microorganisms attached to a surface. It is clear that microorganisms undergo profound changes during their transition from planktonic (free-swimming) organisms to cells that are part of a complex, surface-attached community.

Thymol inhibits Candida albicans biofilm formation and mature biofilm
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2008Candida albicans has a high propensity to develop biofilms that are resistant to traditional antifungal agents. Thymol is credited with a series of pharmacological properties including antimicrobial and antifungal effects. As C. albicans biofilms are known to be important factors underlying its virulence and pathogenicity, the aim of this study was to ...

Inhibition of Biofilm Formation
2021Biofilm formation increases the survival chances of the microbial species. Increase in microbial cell density triggers quorum sensing and leads to colony formation. The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) strains with biofilm formation ability of human pathogen has limited effective antibiotic-based treatment.

Science's STKE, 2005
As illustrated by Fleming's famous observation that a contaminating mold inhibited bacterial growth, most antibiotics derive from substances produced by microorganisms, which may allow them to compete with other microorganisms. Noting that Streptomyces tenebrarius (which produces the aminoglycoside antibiotic ...

Ecological determinants of biofilm formation
Biofouling, 1996Biofilm formation is discussed in terms of the ecological processes involved in their formation. It is emphasised that any cell responds to its environment i.e. to the composition of a liquid layer a few microns thick adjacent to the cell surface. The concept of multidimensional habitat domains defining the growth limits to every species is introduced,
