The xylenes and ethylbenzene were degraded cometabolically if toluene was used as a primary carbon source; their removal was influenced by competitive inhibition with toluene. These interaction phenomena are discussed in this paper and a kinetic model taking into account cometabolism and competitive ...
Interestingly, recent studies have shown that a slow growth rate of deeper bacteria within the biofilm is not due to nutrient limitation per se, but secondary to a general stress response such as temperature changes, pH changes, and the presence of other chemical agents [62,63]. This hypothesi...
The aerobic and anaerobic MIC of ethanol for growth was 10 percent and 8 percent; 50 percent inhibition of growth rate occurred at 3.7 percent and 2.8 percent. Ethanol (40 percent) was bactericidal within 1-2 min, but 10 percent had almost no effect. It was concluded that, despite the ...
epidermidis biofilms, with 50% biofilm inhibition concentration (MBIC50) from 16-32 μg/ml (as derived from Figure 2A) which is in the range of 4 × MIC and 8 × MIC respectively. AKBA also effectively eradicated the preformed biofilms. The 50% biofilm reduction concentration (MBRC50) ...
When the pH value was adjusted to 5.5 or 4.5 under normoxic conditions, no significant changes in the UV-vis absorbance spectra of G1 micelles were observed under 630 nm light irradiation (Supplementary Fig.42). In addition, a decelerated rate of oxygen depletion was noted in G1 micelles...
(Supplementary Fig.S3d). We found that biofilm formation slows down the age-associated decline in theC. elegansthrashing rate (Fig.2b). These results, taken together with the beneficial effects of the biofilm on worm stress-resistance and lifespan, suggest that biofilm formation by a non-...
Under the same conditions the specific nitrite oxidation rate achieved was 30 times lower than the specific nitrite formation rate. It was demonstrated that in the biofilm system, inhibition by FA combined with the optimization of the main control parameters is a good strategy to achieve nitrita...
Citrus honey at 9% concentration was the most effective, showing an average inhibition rate of 59%, while Citrus honey at 2.3% final concentration exhibited the least effectiveness with an average inhibition rate of 23%.#A thorough analysis of the honeys studied confirmed their authenticity and ...
which in turn produces the second messenger c-di-GMP that relieves auto-inhibition of the cellulose synthase BcsAB49. To show thatSalmonellaEPS is a public good that is suitable for our strategy we have to demonstrate that (i) EPS increases biofilm formation and antimicrobial tolerance, (ii) ...
