The present work evaluates the partial oxypropylation of dried bacterial cellulose (BC) performed by grafting propylene oxide with potassium hydroxide as the catalyst. Samples were characterized by scanning electron ...

The aim of this work is to emphasize the central role of surface chemistry as a determining factor during the process of bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on metals. Experimental results showing the influence of the ...

Bacterial cellulose has become established as a new biomaterial, and it can be used for medical applications. In addition, it has called attention due to the increasing interest in tissue engineering materials for wound ...

One new phthalide (1) was isolated from aerial parts of Peperomia nivalis, along with known compounds (2 and 3), reported in this species for the first time. The structure of the new compound was characterised on the basis ...

Human brucellosis is most commonly diagnosed by serology based on agglutination of fixed Brucella abortus as antigen. Nucleic acid amplification techniques have not proven capable of reproducibly and sensitively demonstrating ...

The interaction between bacterial cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens (ATCC 17552) and gold electrodes was analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and attenuated total reflection-surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy ...
