The results revealed similar biofilm metabolites in both media. However, betaine was detected in LB, but not in the case of MVBM. Acetate was significantly higher in MVBM compared to that of LB. Pathway analysis revealed that betaine-producing B. pseudomallei biofilm in LB was associated with metabolism of glycine, serine, and threonine, while acetate in MVBM was associated with metabolism of taurine and hypotaurine, phosphonate and phosphinate, and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. The NMR analysis of EPS disclosed shared metabolites including dimethylsulfide, 1-methyluric acid and oxypurinol. This study provides the first extensive investigation into B. pseudomallei biofilm and EPS metabolites, identifying pathways that offer potential targets for combating B. pseudomallei biofilm-associated infections.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144075610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cyanobacteria cultivation in photobioreactors (PBRs) results in biofouling on their transparent inner walls, which reduces photosynthetic efficiency and productivity. While cyanobacteria biofouling in PBRs is recognized as a significant operating challenge, this review draws attention to the lack of studies on antifouling strategies for PBRs involving cyanobacteria and discusses several areas related to cyanobacteria fouling mechanisms on PBR materials, which require further investigation. These include an in-depth analysis of conditioning films, the role of pili and EPS in gliding and adhesion, potential revisions to existing theoretical models for predicting adhesion, and material properties that affect cyanobacteria adhesion. We use knowledge from marine, medical, and industrial biofouling management to help identify strategies to combat cyanobacteria fouling in PBRs, and we review the applicability of various bioinspired physical and chemical strategies, as well as genetic engineering approaches to prevent cyanobacteria biofilm formation in PBRs.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":" ","pages":"1-27"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143961551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bacterial cells were characterised by a hydrophobicity test, and textiles were characterised by roughness and surface energy. Transmission and suspension tests were then carried out, followed by an evaluation of the wash. The results show that cotton has the highest roughness, polyester is the most hydrophobic and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is the most hydrophobic bacterium. It was observed that resistant bacteria can be transmitted to a considerable extent via household textiles. The suspension test showed that the 0.5% European Colourfastness Establishment (ECE) reference detergent did not achieve a sufficient reduction (>5 log colony forming units - CFU) for any of the strains tested, whereas the addition of 3% hydrogen peroxide or 4% quaternary ammonium silicone compound did so for all of them. Washing at 60 °C reduced the textile contamination sufficiently (>4 log CFU) for all strains tested, while the criteria for cross-contamination and wash water were not met (<1.1 CFU/mL). However, the addition of disinfectants to the detergent at 30 °C met all hygiene requirements with the complete elimination of all tested bacteria on all textiles. Washing home textiles contaminated with resistant bacteria at low temperatures was only possible if a disinfectant was added. Otherwise, textiles can be an important vehicle for the transmission of resistant bacteria in domestic facilities.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143973373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study tested proprietary hard fouling-release prototype coatings from GIT Coatings, Inc. alongside uncoated controls, colour controls, and commercial performance standards. Three successive experiments were completed, incorporating static and dynamic flow conditions at sites in Nova Scotia, Canada. Initially, biofouling percent cover and cleanability for prototype coatings were comparable to untreated controls. By the final experiment, prototype coatings had significantly lower percent covers than both uncoated controls and the durability performance comparison, Ecospeed. Furthermore, several prototype hard fouling-release coatings had comparable percent cover (and possibly cleanability) to the fouling-release performance comparison, Intersleek. The results indicate that hard fouling-release coatings with potentially greater durability and longevity can achieve similar fouling-release performance as commercial fouling-release coatings.

For this purpose, techniques such as broth microdilution, checkerboard, impregnation on urinary catheter fragments, flow cytometry assays and scanning electron microscopy were employed. PMT exhibited antimicrobial activity with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values ranging from 171 to 256 µg/mL, predominantly additive interaction in combination with oxacillin (OXA) and vancomycin (VAN), and a reduction in cell viability of biofilms formed and forming by methicillin-sensitive and -resistant S. aureus. Morphological alterations, damage to the membrane, and genetic material of cells treated with promethazine were also observed. The results demonstrated that PMT can be classified as a promising antimicrobial agent for use in the antibacterial coating of long-term urinary devices.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":" ","pages":"344-361"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143778857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To characterize biofilm growth in fluid, we establish a head-tail biofilm streamer growth model based on the immersed boundary method using MATLAB software, and simulate streamer growth in various environmental conditions to explore the factors affecting its growth. Firstly, we found that a higher flow velocity makes the streamer grow faster and thereby produce more biomass. Secondly, we explored the effect of the position of nutrient source on the streamer growth, found that when the nutrient source overlaps with the streamer, its length is longer than when the nutrient source and the streamer are mismatched. Further we found that the Young's modulus of the streamer also influences its growth length. Streamers with small Young's modulus were more likely to deform, making them grow longer than the streamers with large Young's modulus. Finally, we determined the relationship between the tail length and the head diameter of the streamer through mechanical analysis, and found that there is an optimal ratio of the tail length to the head diameter which exposes the streamer to the minimum drag in the fluid field.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":"41 4","pages":"394-406"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143957692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trichosporon spp. are intrinsically resistant to echinocandins and their biofilms are tolerant to polyenes and triazoles. This study investigated the effect of calcineurin inhibition on the development and antifungal tolerance of Trichosporon biofilms. Mature biofilms of T. inkin and T. asahii were treated with Ciclosporin A (CsA) and analyzed for biomass reduction and viability, ultrastructure, and tolerance tolerance to antifungals. Molecular docking studies were performed to understand the attachment of CsA to the calcineurin of T. asahii. CsA was able to significantly reduce both the biomass and metabolic activity of biofilms. Mature biofilms formed in the presence of CsA showed greater susceptibility to antifungals, compared to biofilm growth control. CsA caused structural changes in biofilms. Molecular modeling suggested that CsA can block the active site of the calcineurin A subunit of T. asahii. Calcineurin inhibition seems to be a promising strategy for controlling antifungal-resistant fungal biofilms.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":"41 4","pages":"407-418"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143960530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
