Model System for Growing and Quantifying <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Biofilms In Situ and in Real Time
1 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae forms biofilms, but little is known about its extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) or the kinetics of biofilm formation. A system was developed to enable the simultaneous measurement of cells and the EPS of biofilm-associated S. pneumoniae in situ over time. A biofilm reactor containing germanium coupons was interfaced to an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) germanium cell of a...
