A new microtitre plate screening method for evaluating the viability of aerobic respiring bacteria in high surface biofilms
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-09)
Aims: It is difficult to determine the effects of bactericidal compounds against bacteria in a biofilm because classical procedures for determining cell viability require several working days, multiple complicated steps ...
Stability of lactobacilli encapsulated in various microbial polymers
(Society for Biotechnology, 2012-02)
Various microbial polymers, namely xanthan gum, gellan gum, pullulan gum and jamilan, were tested as a suitable encapsulating material for Lactobacillus plantarum CRL 1815 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103. Resulting ...
Functional Microbes and Their Incorporation into Foods and Food Supplements: Probiotics and Postbiotics
(Annual Reviews, 2022-03)
Life expectancy has dramatically increased over the past 200 years, butmodern life factors such as environmental exposure, antibiotic overuse,C-section deliveries, limited breast-feeding, and diets poor in fibers andmicrobes ...
Pathogenicity, formulation and storage of insect pathogenic hyphomycetous fungi tested against Diabrotica speciosa
(Springer, 2003-12)
Studies were conducted to search for fungal strains with potential pathogenicityagainst Diabrotica speciosa (Germar) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Among sixteen fungalisolates screened the most virulent was a Beauveria ...
Evaluation of viable cells in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms by colony count and live/dead staining
(Bio-protocol, 2020-09)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a human pathogen capable to form robust biofilms. P. aeruginosa biofilms represent a serious problem because of the adverse effects on human health and industry, from sanitary and economic points ...
Effect of acclimation medium on cell viability, membrane integrity and ability to consume malic acid in synthetic wine by oenological Lactobacillus plantarum strains
(Wiley, 2013-11)
Aims: The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of acclimation on the viability, membrane integrity and the ability to consume malic acid of three oenological strains of Lactobacillus plantarum. Methods and Results: ...
Enhanced bioremediation of lindane-contaminated soils through microbial bioaugmentation assisted by biostimulation with sugarcane filter cake
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-03)
Lindane is a toxic and persistent organochlorine pesticide, whose extensive use generated its accumulation in different environmental matrices. Bioremediation is a promising technology that can be used combining bioaugmentation ...
Synergistic effect of polyaniline coverage and surface microstructure on the inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation
(Elsevier Science, 2017-02)
Biofilm Formation is a survival strategy for microorganisms to adapt to their environment. Microbial cells in biofilm become tolerant and resistant to antibiotics and immune responses, increasing the difficulties for the ...
