Abstract:

Hospital Acquired Infections and equipment contamination are some of the biggest issues faced by the healthcare industry worldwide. These infections generally range from mild to life threatening human infections which lead to increased costs and prolonged hospitalization time. The primary factor which caused these issues were biofilm forming bacteria which are able to withstand medications and defend themselves from various cleaning procedures. Another aspect which make these bacteria troublesome is that they are able to hide inside the biofilm, thus evading a lot of diagnostic tests. The meth

Abstract:

Since the 1900’s it has been known that microorganisms are capable of generating electrical power through extracellular electron transfer by converting the energy found organic compounds (Potter, 1911). Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has garnered more attention recently, and have shown promise in several applications, including wastewater treatment (Yakar et al., 2018), bioremediation (Rosenbaum & Franks, 2014), biosensors (ElMekawy et al., 2018) desalination (Zhang et al., 2018) and as an alternative renewable energy source in remote areas (Castro et al., 2014).

Abstract:

The development of biofilms on mild and stainless steel surfaces in pure and mixed batch cultures of the bacterial species Pseudomonas fluorescens and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and the role of these biofilms in corrosion of steel has been investigated. Early events leading to the formation of biofilms have been elucidated by studying the attachment of bacterial cells to steel using epifluorescence microscopy. To identify the nature of the bacterial surface components involved in the initial adhesion to mild steel, lectins, their sugar inhibitors and saccharolytic and proteolytic enzymes have

Abstract:

Periodontal disease (PD) is a multifactorial disease of the oral cavity affecting the majority of the population. Although not a direct cause of mortality, PD is a health concern because it affects the majority of the population and has a negative impact on oral health, ability to chew, appearance, quality of life, dental care costs and can lead to tooth loss. Dental plaque is a microbial biofilm, which is necessary but not sufficient for the development of periodontitis. The interactions between the biofilm and the host cells, both local tissue and immune cells, can lead to tissue destruction

Abstract:

Constructed wetlands (CWs) are ecologically-based water treatment systems that provide cost-effective amelioration of waterborne pollutants. Fundamental understanding of removal mechanisms, especially microbial processes, limits greater usage of constructed wetlands as a wastewater treatment system. The influence of plant species selection, season, and organic load rate on pollutant removal was previously linked to the redox condition of the sub-surface wetland environment. The goal of this research was to determine which of these environmental variables (including spatial location within the

Introduction: Biofilms within dental-unit waterlines (DUWLs) are acknowledged sources of contamination in the dental clinical environment and affect the quality of clinical treatment water. As a standard for reducing exposure to potentially harmful microorganisms, the Department of Health (DoH), UK suggests that water discharged from DUWL should contain 100 to 200 CFU/mL. However, local audits suggest that the quality of clinical treatment water often fails to meet the standards required.

Abstract:

By growing together in dense communities, microorganisms (microbes) have a huge impact on human life. Microbes also come in a wide variety of shapes, but we have yet to understand the importance of these shapes for community biology. How are multi- species communities, such as biofilms and colonies, affected by the morphologies of constituent cells? Which morphologies might these environments select for in turn? To address these questions, we use individual-based modelling to investigate the effects of cell shape on patterning and evolution within microbial communities. We develop a flexible s

The historical notion of a microbial population has been of a clonal population of identical swimming planktonic cells in a laboratory flask. As the field has advanced, we have grown to appreciate the immense diversity in microbial behaviors, from their propensity to grow in dense surface-attached communities as a biofilm, to the consequences of social dilemmas between cells, to their ability to form spores able to survive nearly any environmental insult. However, the historically biased view of the clonal microbial population still persists – even when a rare phenotype is investigated, the fo

Biofilm growth is a significant factor in subsurface processes governing fluid flow and contaminant transport. Biobarriers are known to reduce hydraulic conductivity, as well as to immobilise metals in the matrix of the exopolymeric substances (EPS) produced by bacterial cells. It is therefore necessary to develop understanding of how bioclogging and related mechanisms occur in porous media, and how contaminants interact with biofilms at the laboratory scale, which ultimately can be scaled up to field scenarios.

One aspect was the investigation of the dynamics of inorganic nitrogen compounds in the upper sediment layers, as highest microbial activity could be expected due to increased import of nutrients. Dissolved oxygen is suggested to control the nitrogen dynamics in the hyporheic zone, as dissolved oxygen in the flowing water varied seasonally and diurnally due to the

During the oxidation of organic and inorganic wastes, microorganisms known as exoelectrogens have the ability to move electrons extracellularly.

La reproduction in vitro du biofilm endocanalaire sauvage, qui se compose d'environ 500 espèces bactériennes différentes est à ce jour impossible. Cependant, tester un protocole de désinfection dans des conditions de laboratoire et ce avant toute application clinique reste indispensable. Il ressort que le développement d'un modèle qui ressemblerait structurellement à son type homologue sauvage se montre crucial. Dans le laboratoire MICORALIS (EA 7354) nous nous sommes intéressés à la conception et

Abstract:

Les sources hydrothermales profondes sont des édifices géologiques formés par l’infiltration d’eau de mer dans la croûte océanique, formant un fluide chaud (>400 °C), riche en métaux qui précipite pour former des cheminées dans lesquelles circulent un courant électrique. Les travaux de recherche présentés ici avaient pour objectif de révéler la présence de microorganismes capable de participer à la production de ce courant électrique ou d’utiliser cette électricité pour vivre au sein de ces cheminées électriquement conductrices. Nous nous sommes focalisés sur les microorganismes capables de
