Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems for control of microbial biofilms: A review
(2018-02-27)
Since the dawn of civilization, it has been understood that pathogenic microorganisms cause infectious conditions in humans, which at times, may prove fatal. Among the different virulent properties of microorganisms is ...
Biochemical capacitance of geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, 2015)
An electrical model able to decouple the electron pathway from microbial cell machinery impedance terms is introduced. In this context, capacitance characteristics of the biofilm are clearly resolved. In other words, the ...
Oral prosthetic microbiology: aspects related to the oral microbiome, surface properties, and strategies for controlling biofilms
(2021-01-01)
The oral cavity is an environment that allows for the development of complex ecosystems; the placement of prosthetic devices as a consequence of partial or total tooth loss may alter the diversity of microbial communities. ...
Streptococcus mutans and actinomyces naeslundii interaction in dual-species biofilm
(2020-02-01)
The study of bacterial interaction between Streptococcus mutans and Actinomyces naeslundii may disclose important features of biofilm interspecies relationships. The aim of this study was to characterize—with an emphasis ...
Acclimatization of a microbial consortium into a stable biofilm to produce energy and 1,3-propanediol from glycerol in a microbial fuel cell
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-06-08)
Glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, is a potential substrate for producing electricity and value-added products in bioelectrochemical systems. Here, we demonstrate a strategy to establish a highly specific ...
A biofilm model of microbial fuel cells for engineering applications
(Springer Verlag, 2017-12-23)
A generalized low-order model of the biofilm in a microbial fuel cell (MFC), suitable for use in real-time engineering applications, is presented. It is based on the description of the charge transfer, diffusion process, ...
Permeate microbiome reflects the biofilm microbial community in a gravity-driven woven-fiber microfiltration (WFMF) system for wastewater treatment
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023)
United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6.3 aims to half the proportion of untreated wastewater and increase recycling and safe water reuse. Therefore, developing robust technologies to achieve these goals, specifically ...
Mixed biofilms formed by C. albicans and non-albicans species: a study of microbial interactions
(Sociedade Brasileira De Pesquisa Odontologica, 2016-01-01)
Most Candida infections are related to microbial biofilms often formed by the association of different species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interactions between Candida albicans and non-albicans species ...
