Biofilm formation under high shear stress increases resilience to chemical and mechanical challenges

L. C. Simoes et al.

Summary: The study found that biofilms formed under different hydrodynamic conditions showed different structural characteristics, with those formed under higher shear stress being more tolerant to chemical and mechanical stresses. Sodium hypochlorite was the most effective biocide for killing and removing biofilms.

Hydrodynamics and surface properties influence biofilm proliferation

Milos Krsmanovic et al.

Summary: A biofilm is a colloidal dispersion of bacterial cells and excreted polymers that provides protection for microorganisms and can successfully colonize surfaces. Hydrodynamics and stratum properties play important roles in guiding bacteria rejection and removal. Cell motion and surface properties influence the formation and detachment of biofilms.

We Are One: Multispecies Metabolism of a Biofilm Consortium and Their Treatment Strategies

Ruchika Vinod Joshi et al.

Summary: Bacterial biofilms play a significant role in ecology and medicine, yet are challenging to control. Research focus is shifting towards multispecies consortia biofilms and the role of cellular metabolites in cell-to-cell communication, which could lead to new therapeutic approaches. Multispecies biofilms display greater resilience to antimicrobial agents compared to single species biofilms, highlighting the importance of studying interspecies interactions and exploring treatment options in various settings.

Chlorine disinfection facilitates natural transformation through ROS-mediated oxidative stress

Shuai Zhang et al.

Summary: This study shows that chloramine and free chlorine can significantly increase the transformation rate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through a series of cell responses, including increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), bacterial membrane and DNA damage, ultimately enhancing the transformation of ARGs. Disinfectant exposure induces a stress response in cells, leading to the promotion of ARGs transformation, which could play a crucial role in managing antibiotic resistance in water systems.

Overview on the hydrodynamic conditions found in industrial systems and its impact in (bio)fouling formation

Susana Fernes et al.

Summary: Biofouling refers to the unwanted accumulation of deposits on surfaces, consisting of organic and inorganic particles and organisms. The role of hydrodynamic conditions is crucial in biofouling development, with turbulent conditions leading to more resistant biodeposits. In industrial settings, hydrodynamics affect process efficiency and biofouling formation simultaneously.
