Eleven articles published between 1993 and 2023 were included in the study, indicating that the topic has been under investigation for several decades, gaining more prominence in recent years. Studies have demonstrated the antimicrobial effect of ozone under different experimental conditions, indicating that it is an effective strategy. Furthermore, they suggest that, in addition to ozone concentration and exposure time, other parameters such as the type of materials used in processing plants, hydrodynamic conditions, water temperature, and knowledge of commonly found microorganisms contribute to the effectiveness of the process aimed at reducing microbial counts. In conclusion, the available evidence suggests that ozonation in controlling Pseudomonas spp. can be considered a promising antimicrobial strategy. More efforts are needed to adapt the different methodologies according to each industrial reality.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142567673","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}

However, when the compounds were applied together, there was a significant increase in their antimicrobial potential. The determined fractional inhibitory concentration index of 0.43 indicated a synergistic interaction between the two compounds. Furthermore, a series of experiments demonstrated that the combined application of cuminaldehyde and tetracycline could lead to a significant enhancement of their antibiofilm potential. This enhanced antibiofilm potential was attributed to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and increased cell membrane permeability.

Alternatively, thin technetium electroplated coatings can be employed to prevent corrosion of steel containers and the subsequent biofouling that may result. The utilization of metallic technetium in the design of containers for radioactive waste in deep burial may be promising from two perspectives: firstly, in terms of increasing their stability, and secondly, in terms of the utilization of technetium, which is a macrocomponent of radioactive waste. In this study, the resilience of the metal technetium and its two derivative coatings (amorphous and crystalline) was assessed under various conditions, including exposure to fresh groundwater and seawater. The multifunctional strain Shewanella xiamenensis DCB-2-1, known for its ability to enzymatically reduce pertechnetate ions, was used to investigate the possibility of microbial biofouling of metallic technetium. Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that amorphous electrodeposited technetium is more susceptible to oxidation processes compared to its crystalline counterpart. Ultimately, the most durable form of technetium was metal foil. The potential for biofouling on Tc surfaces is largely attributed to the diverse nature of the specimens' surface. Research conducted in the Barents Sea has revealed that the accumulation of iron, calcium, and magnesium mineral phases within the microbial biofilm may shield beta radiation, resulting in the establishment of macro-fouling (Balanus and Mutilus).","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142543421","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}

Results showed that artificial habitats installed six years ago harboured communities with functional and taxonomic diversity characteristic of mature communities but were still different from those of natural habitat.

Furthermore, while the concrete used for the two dyke habitats presented different rugosity properties, both habitats supported similar communities, suggesting that such eco-engineering measures did not affect the settlement of early colonisers.

The extracts can be fractionated to optimize their potential. In this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of Cryptocarya moschata fractions against planktonic cells and biofilms of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans. Four fractions were prepared: 100% hexane, acetate/hexane 1:1, 100% ethyl acetate, and water. The effect of the fractions on planktonic cells was assessed by counting the colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL). Biofilm tests included CFU/mL, cell metabolic activity, and qualitative analysis using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Results were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test (α = 0.05). The fractions contained lipophilic constituents, styrylpyrones, glycosylated flavonoids, and alkaloids. Acetate/hexane (1:1) and 100% ethyl acetate fractions reduced the CFU/mL of planktonic C. albicans. C. moschata fractions did not affect planktonic S. mutans. For biofilms, the fractions reduced the CFU/mL (from 2-5 logs) and cell metabolic activity (approximately 80% reduction in a single-species biofilm). CLSM showed the fractions reduced microorganism viability and damaged the extracellular matrix of biofilms. We conclude that the acetate/hexane 1:1 and 100% ethyl acetate C. moschata fractions exhibit antimicrobial effects against biofilms.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142494079","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}

The dosages utilised herein are 1000 and 3000 ppm.min for ozone and 2864 and 11592 mJ.cm-2 for UVC. Both organisms showed an increased sensitivity to UVC relative to ozone exposure in a bespoke decontamination chamber. While complete inactivation of both organisms (>7.5 CFU log) was realized after 60 mins of UVC application, this could not be achieved with ozonation for the same duration. However, a combined application of ozone and UVC yielded complete inactivation in only 20 mins. For both treatment methods, it was observed that dry biofilms of S. aureus were more difficult to inactivate than dry biofilms of C. auris. Compared to dry biofilms of C. auris, micrographs of wet C. auris biofilms revealed the presence of an abundance of extracellular material after treatments. Interestingly, wet biofilms were more difficult to inactivate than dry biofilms.
