Exoelectrogenic biofilm growth in shearing flows
… a rotating disk electrode are ideal for studying adhesion of microbes to metallic surfaces under shear. We study the adhesion of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and 1 μm silica microspheres over a range of shear stresses. Our results agree with literature on red blood cells in rotating disk …

Elucidating strategies to design tailored chitosan surfaces with enhanced antibiofouling and biocompatibility properties via plasma assisted processes
Bacteria colonization of surfaces is often an undesired process. It affects human activities across different fields, including agriculture, marine transportation, the food, textile, oil and biomedical industries. Its negative effects incur in economic and human lives losses. Bacteria colonization …

Nanobiossensor a fibra óptica revestido com filme fino de ouro para detecção da bactéria Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacterial type that inhabits the intestinal tract of humans and animals, therefore, its presence in water and food is used as indicator of fecal contamination. Depending on the species, it can be harmful to health if ingested. The main method for this microorganism …

Silver Doped Hydroxyapatite Coating on Titanium Surfaces and its Effect on Early Bone Response and Osseointegration
… has on osteoblastic activity as well as decrease bacterial load has yet to be determined.</p> <p>In this study, the effect of Ag-doped HA coatings on initial bacterial adhesion and osteoblast cell proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization was investigated. Using a sol-gel process, HA …

Synthesis and characterization of tethered poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) for quantitative cell adhesion studies
… A quantitative study of detachment of marine bacteria from these surfaces, both above and below the LCST using a spinning disc apparatus is also reported. This device applies a linear range of reproducible shear forces to cells attached at the interface of a single sample. In this work, a …
