Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is used for growing

11、 a repeatablePseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm in a CDC biofilm reactor.The biofilm is established by operating the reactor in batchmode (no flow of the nutrients) for 24 h. A steady statepopulation is reached while the reactor operates for an addi-tional 24 h with continuous flow of the nutrients. The

12、 residencetime of the nutrients in the reactor is set to select for biofilmgrowth, and is species and reactor parameter specific. Duringthe entire 48 h, the biofilm is exposed to continuous fluid shearfrom the rotation of a baffled stir bar. Controlling the rate atwhich the baffle turns determines t

13、he intensity of the shearstress to which the coupons are exposed. At the end of the 48h, biofilm accumulation is quantified by removing couponsfrom suspended rods, scraping the biofilm from the coupon1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E35 onPesticides and Alternative Contr

Research hasshown that biofilm bacteria are more difficult to kill thansuspended bacteria (5). Laboratory biofilms are engin

18、eered ingrowth reactors designed to produce a specific biofilm type.Altering system parameters will correspondingly result in achange in the biofilm. For example, research has shown thatbiofilm grown under high shear is more difficult to kill thanbiofilm grown under low shear (6). The purpose of thi

19、s testmethod is to direct a user in the laboratory study of aPseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm by clearly defining eachsystem parameter. This test method will enable an investigatorto grow, sample, and analyze a Pseudomonas aeruginosabiofilm grown under high shear. The biofilm generated in theCDC biofi

20、lm reactor is also suitable for efficacy testing. Afterthe 48 h growth phase is complete, the user may add thetreatment in situ or harvest the coupons and treat themindividually.6.
