TLDR
Replacement of amino acids in MWB with tryptone initially enhanced biofilm development, but the effect was not significant after 12 days of incubation, and of five carbohydrates tested, mannose and trehalose enhanced biofilms development.About:

Microtiter plate assay for assessment of Listeria monocytogenes biofilm formation.
TL;DR: The standardize a polyvinyl chloride microtiter plate assay can be used as a rapid, simple method to screen for differences in biofilm production between strains or growth conditions prior to performing labor-intensive microscopic analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilm Formation and Control in Food Processing Facilities
TL;DR: Growth of biofilms in food processing environments leads to increased opportunity for microbial contamination of the processed product and increases the risk of reduced shelf life and disease transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial cell attachment, the beginning of a biofilm.
TL;DR: This review examines what are believed to be some of the most important aspects involved in bacterial attachment to a surface.

Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent Listeria monocytogenes strains show enhanced adherence to food contact surface after short contact times.
TL;DR: Results of this study reveal that persistent L. monocytogenes strains show enhanced adherence at short contact times, promoting their survival in food processing facilities and possibly having an effect on initiation of persistent plant contamination.

Exopolysaccharide production in biofilms: substratum activation of alginate gene expression by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
TL;DR: Reporter gene technology was employed to detect the activity of an alginate promoter of Pseudomonas aeruginosa when the organism was grown as a biofilm on a Teflon mesh substratum and as planktonic cells in liquid medium.

Attachment of Listeria monocytogenes to stainless steel, glass, polypropylene, and rubber surfaces after short contact times
TL;DR: Investigation of the attachment capabilities of Listeria monocytogenes strain Scott A to stainless steel, glass, polypropylene, and rubber surfaces after short contact times at ambient and cold storage temperatures indicated that the cells could attach to all surface types at both temperatures after contact times as short as 20 min or 1 h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of an improved chemically defined minimal medium for Listeria monocytogenes.
TL;DR: Evidence was found that chitin and cell walls of starter bacteria (Lactococcus lactis) supported survival of L. monocytogenes, which suggests that the pathogen may obtain carbon and energy sources during colonization of some foods, such as cheeses, by assimilating bacteria or molds that are present.
