Beyond Risk: Bacterial Biofilms and Their Regulating Approaches

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 11

Published: May 21, 2020

Bacterial biofilms are complex surface attached communities of bacteria held together by a self-produced polymer matrix mainly composed polysaccharides, secreted proteins, and extracellular DNA. biofilm formation is process can be described in five main phases: (i) reversible attachment phase, where nonspecifically attach to surfaces; (ii) irreversible which involves interaction between bacterial cells using adhesins such as fimbriae lipopolysaccharide (LPS); (iii) production polymeric substances (EPS) the resident cells; (iv) maturation synthesize release signaling molecules sense presence each other, conducing microcolony biofilms; (v) dispersal/detachment depart comeback independent planktonic lifestyle. Biofilm detrimental medical, drinking water distribution systems, food marine industries, etc. As result, current studies have been focused towards control prevention biofilms. In an effort get rid harmful biofilms, various techniques approaches employed that interfere with attachment, communication systems (quorum sensing, QS) matrix. Biofilms, however, also offer beneficial roles variety fields including applications plant protection, bioremediation, wastewater treatment corrosion inhibition amongst others. Development promoted through manipulation adhesion surfaces, QS environmental conditions.

Syntrophy Goes Electric: Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

Annual Review of Microbiology, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 71(1), P. 643 - 664

Published: July 12, 2017

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) has biogeochemical significance, and practical applications that rely on DIET or DIET-based aspects of microbial physiology are growing. Mechanisms for have primarily been studied in defined cocultures which Geobacter species one the partners. Electrically conductive pili (e-pili) can be an important electrical conduit DIET. However, there may instances contacts made between transport proteins associated with outer membranes Alternatively, partners plug into carbon materials, such as granular activated carbon, cloth, biochar, long-range exchange without need e-pili. Magnetite promotes DIET, possibly by acting a substitute outer-surface c-type cytochromes. is primary mode some anaerobic digesters converting wastes to methane. Promoting materials shows promise stabilizing accelerating methane production digesters, permitting higher organic loading rates. Various lines evidence suggest terrestrial wetlands, source atmospheric also role oxidation coupled sulfate reduction, control releases. The finding serve electrons photosynthesis further broadens its potential environmental significance.

Outlook of fermentative hydrogen production techniques: An overview of dark, photo and integrated dark-photo fermentative approach to biomass

Energy Strategy Reviews, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 24, P. 27 - 37

Published: Jan. 31, 2019

Biomass can be a sustainable choice for bioenergy production worldwide. Biohydrogen using fermentative conversion of biomass has gained great interest during the last decade. Besides being an efficient transportation fuel, biohydrogen also low-carbon source heat and electricity. Microbes assisted (bioconversion) take place either in presence or absence light. This is called photo-fermentation dark-fermentation respectively. review provides overview approaches hydrogen production. includes: dark, photo integrated modes production; molecular basis behind its diverse range applicability industrially. Mechanistic understanding metabolic pathways involved biomass-based are reviewed.
