composed of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). The cells within the biofilm produce the EPS components, which are typically a polymeric combination...

and nearly 300 species have been cultured and found to contribute to the biofilm of the periodontal pocket, there is a much smaller number of species...

material. Microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi are immobilized in the biofilm and degrade the pollutant. Trickling filters and bioscrubbers rely on...

combating biofilm infections. Nitroxoline was shown to cause a decrease in the biofilm density of P. aeruginosa infections, which would allow access to the...

Passage of the wastewater over the media provides dissolved oxygen, which the biofilm layer requires for the biochemical oxidation of the organic compounds...

degrading the biofilm matrix, Dispersin B allows for the release of bacterial cells that can adhere to new surfaces close by and extend the biofilm or start...

metabolized by the hornwort plant or by epiphytic microorganisms in the biofilm layer surrounding the plant. In biology, this technique may be used to...

pathogen found in the lungs of some people who have cystic fibrosis. The biofilm and P. aeruginosa have a high resistance to antibiotics, but are susceptible...

pathogenic yeast that can be found within the oral cavity. Its presence in the biofilm promotes higher levels of S. mutans when looking at early childhood caries...

chronic periodontitis can be managed by proper mechanical removal of the biofilm and calculus subgingivally. Full and effective oral hygiene and regular...

ability to absorb water. SCOBYs can vary greatly in cell density within the biofilm due to fermentation conditions, leading to possible variations in the...

Most removal occurs where water is in contact with the biofilm. The processes that occur in the biofilm have not been identified. When the standing water...

resistance because bacteria at the bottom of the biofilm are less exposed to antibiotics, the bacteria in the biofilm do not grow as quickly, and there are faster...

protozoa. Over several weeks the biofilm becomes thicker and the flow of water reduces. The filter bed is drained and the biofilm layer is scraped off and...

layers of the biofilm H. pylori can escape from the actions of antibiotics, and also be protected from host-immune responses. In the biofilm H, pylori...

EPS, which is akin to a gel, is a matrix which provides structure for the biofilm and is essential for growth and functionality. It consists of organic...

sloughing, a type of soil behavior Sloughing (biofilms), shedding of the biofilm in certain wastewater treatment units, particularly trickling filters...

this is that the biofilm matrix protects the embedded cells by acting as a barrier to prevent antibiotic penetration. However, the biofilm matrix is composed...

peroxide is also recommended. Rubbing whilst washing may help to disrupt the biofilm, hence increasing the accessibility of antiseptics to the bacteria. Patients...

of the genus Polaribacter. This strain was originally isolated from the biofilm of a stone collected at Nordstrand, which is a tiny peninsula on the...
