Journal ArticleDOI
How microorganisms use hydrophobicity and what does this mean for human needs
Anna Krasowska,Karel Sigler +1 more
TL;DR: The future of research seems to lie in finding a way to managing the microbial adhesion process, perhaps by steering cell hydrophobicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of two new lipopeptide biosurfactants produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens BD5 isolated from water from the Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard.
TL;DR: Its emulsification activity and stability was greater than that of the synthetic surfactants Tween 20 and Triton X-100; pseudofactins thus have a great potential for application in industrial fields such as bioremediation or biomedicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capric Acid Secreted by S. boulardii Inhibits C. albicans Filamentous Growth, Adhesion and Biofilm Formation
Anna Murzyn,Anna Krasowska,Piotr Stefanowicz,Dorota Dziadkowiec,Marcin Łukaszewicz,Marcin Łukaszewicz +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that this probiotic yeast secreted by S. boulardii secretes into the medium active compounds reducing candidal virulence factors, which is responsible for inhibition of C. albicans filamentation and partially also adhesion and biofilm formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiadhesive activity of the biosurfactant pseudofactin II secreted by the Arctic bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens BD5
TL;DR: Pseudofactin II showed antiadhesive activity against several pathogenic microorganisms which are potential biofilm formers on catheters, implants and internal prostheses and dispersed preformed biofilms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal activity of gemini quaternary ammonium salts
TL;DR: It was shown that gemini surfactants enhanced the sensitivity of C. albicans to azoles and polyenes, thus they might be potentially used in combined therapy against fungi.
