Pseudomonas putida is a Gram negative bacterium that can be found naturally in the environment as planktonic free-living cells, or in concert with other bacterial species in biofilms. In this study, the P. putida strain ...

'Campylobacter jejuni' is a Gram-negative microaerophilic bacterium that is widely believed to be the number one cause of food borne gastroenteritis and diarrhea caused by bacteria. The ability to form biofilms may provide ...

The viability of C. jejuni biofilms growing in different conditions was investigated by conventional plate counts and microscopy after nucleic acid staining. Differences were detected for each condition tested. However, ...

With the widespread existence of environmental pollutants in the modern world, effective, non-destructive means of remediation are becoming more and more desirable as an alternative to the traditional excavation and ...

Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is a zoonotic pathogen most often associated with poultry and the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed world. It is an obligate microaerobe, requiring low levels of ...

Listeria monocytogenes, a food-borne pathogen associated with severe disease, forms resistant biofilms which enable it to persist in food processing environments. Recently, surface active compounds and other microbially ...

"A total of 194 bacteria were isolated from pulp and paper biofilms from a mill in Thunder Bay, Canada. Diversity of the 194 bacteria indicated that the amounts of bacteria found in these biofilms may be influenced by ...

This thesis investigated wild-type 'Listeria monocytogenes ' EGD and five of its corresponding mutant strains (M1, M4, M7, M11 and M14) for their ability to form biofilms on glass at 22°C and 37°C, with and without shear ...
