TL;DR: This review aims at helping scientists in finding the most appropriate and up-to-date methods to study their biofilms by giving a critical perspective, highlighting the advantages and limitations of several methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombinant protein secretion in Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: Several strategies that can be used for recombinant protein secretion in E. coli are presented and their advantages and limitations depending on the characteristics of the target protein to be produced are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current and emergent strategies for disinfection of hospital environments
TL;DR: This review provides updated information on the current and emergent disinfection strategies for clinical environments using gas plasma, antimicrobial surfaces and vapour systems as promising alternatives to conventional disinfectants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow cell hydrodynamics and their effects on E. coli biofilm formation under different nutrient conditions and turbulent flow
TL;DR: The results suggest that until a certain thickness was reached nutrient availability dictated biofilm architecture but when that critical thickness was exceeded mechanical resistance to shear stress became more important.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of ferulic and salicylic acids on Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas fluorescens single- and dual-species biofilms
Madalena Lemos,Anabela Borges,Joana Teodósio,Paula Araújo,Filipe Mergulhão,Luís F. Melo,Manuel Simões +6 more
TL;DR: The role of FA and SA in the prevention and control of biofilms formed by two important food spoilage bacteria is clarified.
