Role of Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) on Biofilm Disinfection in a Model Drinking Water Distribution System
Biofilms are undesirable but ubiquitous in drinking water systems. This study investigated the role of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in the biofilm life cycle, including planktonic cells, attached biofilm, detached biofilm clusters and redistributed biofilm, in a model distribution …

FTIR Analysis of Bacteria Biomass-Mineral Interactions in Soils
… 2018). In this study, the interplay between soil bacterial biomass and reactive clay minerals in soils was investigated. The purpose of the research was to shed light into the stabilization of SOC in a bacterial biomass-soil/clay matrix. Soils characterized as Inceptisol and Oxisols were …

Photodynamically Activated Multifunctional Chitosan Nanoparticles to Disinfect and Improve Structural Stability of Dentin
Bacteria have been confirmed as the main etiological factor for root canal infection as well as for root canal treatment failure. Thus the success of endodontic treatment depends on the complete elimination of bacteria and prevention of bacterial recolonization in the root canal system. The major …

Plastics and Microplastics as Vectors for Bacteria and Human Pathogens
… thus provide a novel habitat for colonization by bacterial communities. The full spectrum of relationships between plastics and bacteria, however, is little understood. The objective of this study was to examine marine plastic pollution as a substrate for bacteria, with particular focus on<em> …
