Shewanella putrefaciens adhesion and biofilm formation on food processing surfaces
Article Abstract:
Shewanella putrefaciens can form biofilms on stainless steel surfaces and contaminate food processing equipment. Researchers found that a combination of fluorescence microscopy, ultrasonic removal of bacteria from surfaces, and indirect conductometry can be used to measure bacteria on surfaces.

Seasonal incidence of autochthonous antagonistic roseobacter spp. and vibrionaceae strains in a turbot larva (Scophthalmus maximus) rearing system
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to determine if bacteria with antagonistic activity against turbot larval pathogens are present in turbot larval rearing units at specific sites or times and whether these are the same species or changed according to the season.

Enzymatic removal and disinfection of bacterial biofilms
Article Abstract:
Microbiological research shows that polysaccharide-hydrolyzing and oxidoreductase enzymes remove and deactivate bacterial biofilms from steel and polypropylene substrata. Experiments using biofilms made out of stainless steel and polypropylene, hydroxyapatite and soft contact lenses with microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Streptococus mutans, Actinomyces viscosus, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Psudomonas aeruginosa are described.
