Journal ArticleDOI
Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus attachment patterns on glass surfaces with nanoscale roughness.
Natasa Mitik-Dineva,James Wang,Vi Khanh Truong,Paul R. Stoddart,Francois Malherbe,Russell J. Crawford,Elena P. Ivanova +6 more
TL;DR: The bacteria responded to the surface modification with a remarkable change in cellular metabolic activity, as shown by the characteristic cell morphologies, production of extracellular polymeric substances, and an increase in the number of bacterial cells undergoing attachment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of nano-topography on bacterial attachment.
Natasa Mitik-Dineva,James Wang,Radu C. Mocanasu,Paul R. Stoddart,Russell J. Crawford,Elena P. Ivanova +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that bacteria may be more sensitive to nanoscale surface roughness than was previously believed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific Electromagnetic Effects of Microwave Radiation on Escherichia coli
Yury Shamis,Alex Taube,Natasa Mitik-Dineva,Rodney J. Croft,Russell J. Crawford,Elena P. Ivanova +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that one of the effects of exposing E. coli cells to MW radiation under sublethal temperature conditions is that the cell surface undergoes a modification that is electrokinetic in nature, resulting in a reversible MW-induced poration of the cell membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in colonisation of five marine bacteria on two types of glass surfaces
Natasa Mitik-Dineva,James Wang,Vi Khanh Truong,Paul R. Stoddart,Francois Malherbe,Russell J. Crawford,Elena P. Ivanova +6 more
TL;DR: The study revealed amplified bacterial attachment on the chemically etched, nano-smoother glass surfaces, a consistent response, notwithstanding the taxonomic affiliation of the selected bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staleya guttiformis attachment on poly(tert-butylmethacrylate) polymeric surfaces
Elena P. Ivanova,Natasa Mitik-Dineva,James Wang,Duy K. Pham,Jonathan P. Wright,Dan V. Nicolau,Radu C. Mocanasu,Russell J. Crawford +7 more
TL;DR: It was found that while attaching on P(tBMA) surfaces, S. guttiformis cells produced extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that appeared as a hydrogel substance, presumably polysaccharide that formed a biopolymer network that facilitated bacterial attachment.
