2.1. Bacterial strains and growth conditions. Capsule-positive, biofilm-positive Acinetobacter baumannii AB5075 (wild type, WT) and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 43816 (WT), and their isogenic, capsule-deficient transposon insertion mutants were selected for this study (Table 1).These strains were selected as well-characterised, virulent exemplars of these …

Properties of the cell surface, specifically the presence of fimbriae, flagella, and surface-associated polysaccharides or proteins, also are important and may possibly provide a competitive advantage for one organism where a mixed community is involved. Table 1 summarizes the variables important in cell attachment and biofilm formation.

Un drainage minier acide (DMA) ou encore " drainage rocheux acide " (DRA) est une solution minérale acide qui s'écoule régulièrement en conséquence d'une mine.. Le phénomène en cause est spontané sur les affleurements de minéraux sulfurés, naturellement sujets à une oxydation par contact avec l' air et l'eau : de manière lente, il …

1. Introduction. Biofilm is a wide-range life form of bacteria that consists of the association of microorganisms cultures and extracellular polymer matrix (EPM), a complex biochemical mixture of polysaccharides, proteins, glycopeptides, nucleic acids, and lipids [1,2].This slimy three-dimensional biopolymer is heterogeneous in different layers and contains …

Introduction. Biofilms are severe health concerns due to their multidrug resistance abilities, host defense, and other stresses (De La Fuente-Nunez et al., 2013).Therefore, it leads to chronic bacterial infections worldwide (Subhadra et al., 2018; Sharma et al., 2019).Bacterial biofilm is a multifaceted structure of communities with diverse bacterial colonies of cells …

A biofilm can be defined as a microbial community attached to a solid surface composed of cells organised as microcolonies embedded in an organic polymer matrix of microbial origin ...

According to Center for Biofilm Engineering, a bacteria biofilm is defined as "a structured community of bacterial cells enclosed in a self-produced polymeric matrix and adherent to an inert or living surface" (Costerton et al. 1999).The biofilm formation began when free floating bacteria attach to a biotic or abiotic surface and began to excrete a slimy, glue …

The genus Mycobacterium includes human pathogens (Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae) and environmental organisms known as non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that, when associated with biomaterials and chronic disease, can cause human infections.A common pathogenic factor of mycobacteria is the formation of …

BiofilmQ is an image cytometry software tool that enables the visualization, quantification and analysis of biofilm properties, providing insights into their structure and function.

Bacteria at the surface of biofilm have access to oxygen more than those at the interior. This may result in the formation of two distinct environments inside the biofilm with an aerobic environment at the surface and anaerobic in the interior (de Beer et al., 1994). The same explanation holds for nutrients and such other growth conditions.

The formation of bacterial biofilms is a multi-step process, as shown in Figure 1, including molecular attachment to the surface of an object, bacterial adhesion and secretion of …

The formation of the cables might be a way of colonizing a polarized surface, as determined by the observation of electrodes extracted at different times of MEC operation. ...

T03:12:47+00:00; Bacterial biofilm destruction by size/surface . In response to the acidic microenvironment of the biofilm matrix, the hydrophilic transition of the pHsensitive copolymers and the removal of CATyr led to a biofilm cells were grown as described by frank and koffi (i990) using diluted tryptic soya broth (tsb) prepared as …

The formation of biofilms is a cyclic process that occurs in a stage-specific and progressive manner. The process is initiated following surface contact by single planktonic cells. …

2. Oral Biofilm. In the human oral cavity there are hundreds of different species of microorganisms, including bacteria, virus and fungi [].More than 700 unique bacterial species have been detected [].There can be more than 10 11 microorganisms per mg of dental plaque [7,8].These live in complex societies, usually organized in thin layers …

A structured consortium attached on a living or inert surface formed by microbial cells sticked to each other and surrounded by the self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix is known as biofilm. ... de Fuente-Núñez C, Reffuveille F, Fernandez L et al. Bacterial biofilm development as a multicellular adaptation: ...

The clustered group of microorganisms in a common matrix is called biofilm. The matrix is made up of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). In 1 gram of weight of biofilm, about 10 8 – 10 11 cells are present and may comprise many species. The same bacteria may show different properties in biofilm than in the free-living (planktonic) state.

petites colonies de bactéries forment alors le biofilm initial2,6. La composition exacte de la SPE varie selon les micro-organismes présents mais se compose en général de polysaccharides, protéines, glycolipides et ADN bactérien2,9,11. On pense que l'ADN bactérien libéré par les bactéries

The growth and population dynamics of biofilms are influenced by biochemical cues (), competition (), cooperation (), cell death (), and mechanical interactions (14, 15).In …

According to recent global estimates, 40–80% of all prokaryotes live in biofilms 1.Biofilms are assemblages of microbial cells attached to each other and/or to a surface, encased …

Bacteria are able to grow adhered to almost every surface, forming architecturally complex communities termed biofilms. In biofilms, cells grow in multicellular aggregates that are encased in an extracellular matrix produced by the bacteria themselves (Branda et al. 2005; Hall-Stoodley and Stoodley 2009).Biofilms impact humans in many ways as they can …

SURFACE-ATTACHED COMMUNITIES IN THE REAL WORLD. The natural habitats of prokaryotes are remarkably diverse (188, 268).Prokaryotes can inhabit any environment that is suitable for higher life forms, as well as a variety of inhospitable settings that the majority of higher life forms would find extremely objectionable ().Their ability to persist …

3.4.1 Initiation of Biofilm Formation. It was suggested that the biofilm formation was initiated when bacteria sense certain environmental factors (transition), which may be from planktonic growth to life on a surface (Davey et al. 2000; Stanley and Lazazzera 2004).These signals regulate the surface attachment and formation of microcolony …
