Biofilm formation by Streptococcus pneumoniae
Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology, 2015The biofilm process in Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is described. Virtually all wild-type pneumococci are capable of the biofilm formation. The pneumococcal capsule may reduce the biofilm production, and the propensity to form biofilms has a reverse correlation with the amount of the capsule material.

Bacterial biofilm formation and anti-biofilm strategies
Research in MicrobiologyBacteria are ubiquitous prokaryotes. They are involved in biofilm formation and also have the ability to produce anti-biofilm products for biofilm mitigation. This special issue entitled: "Biofilms- community structure, applications and mitigation" of the journal Research in Microbiology was designed to discuss the flexibility of bacterial biofilms and

Finger Formation in Biofilm Layers
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2002Summary: A simple single substrate limiting model of a growing biofilm layer is presented. One-dimensional moving front solutions are analyzed. Under certain conditions these solutions are shown to be linearly unstable to fingering instabilities. Scaling laws for the biofilm growth rate and length scale are derived. The nonlinear evolution of fingering

Observations of fouling biofilm formation
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1981Fouling biofilm development was monitored in a completely mixed tubular recycle reactor. A unique sampling system allowed direct (brightfield, epifluorescence, and scanning electron photomicroscopy) and indirect (increased fluid frictional resistance) observations of biofilms. Low fluid velocity (138.5 cm/s) experiments had shorter induction times and

Nanometric Considerations in Biofilm Formation
Surgical Infections, 2019Prosthetic contamination and biofilm formation continue to plague implanted materials. With increasing resistance to traditional antibiotic regimens, alternative approaches to preventing bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation have focused on the physiochemical properties of the prosthetics.

Cell Adhesion and Biofilm Formation Analysis
2022Cell adhesion to surfaces and ulterior biofilm formation are critical processes in microbial development since living in biofilms is the preferred way of life within microorganisms. These processes are known to influence not only microorganisms development in the environment, but also their participation in biotechnological processes and have been the ...

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.
