Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is used for growing a repeatable PseudomonasP. aeruginosa biofilm in a drip flow biofilm reactor. Thebiofilm is established by operating the rea

18、ctor in batch mode (no flow of nutrients) for 6 h.Amature biofilm forms while the reactoroperates for an additional 48 h with a continuous flow of nutrients. During continuous flow, the biofilm experiences very low shearcaused by the gravity flow of media dripping onto a surface set at a 10 angle. A

19、t the end of the 54 h, biofilm accumulation isquantified by removing coupons from the reactor channels, rinsing the coupons to remove the planktonic cells, scraping the biofilmfrom the coupon surface, disaggregating the clumps, then diluting and plating for viable cell enumeration.5. Significance an

20、d Use5.1 Vegetative biofilm bacteria are phenotypically different from suspended cells of the same genotype. Biofilm growth reactorsare engineered to produce biofilms with specific characteristics. Altering either the engineered system or operating conditions willmodify those characteristics.5.2 The

21、 purpose of this test method is to direct a user in how to grow, sample, and analyze a PseudomonasP. aeruginosa biofilmunder low fluid shear and close to the air/liquid interface using the drip flow reactor. DFR. The PseudomonasP. aeruginosa biofilmthat grows has a smooth appearance and is loosely a

22、ttached. Microscopically, the biofilm is sheet-like with few architectural details.This laboratory biofilm could represent those found on produce sprayers, on food processing conveyor belts, on catheters, in lungswith cystic fibrosis, and oral biofilms, for example. The biofilm generated in the drip

23、 flow reactor DFR is also suitable for efficacytesting.After the 54 h growth phase is complete, the user may add the treatment inin situ situ or harvest the coupons and treat themindividually. Research has shown that P. aeruginosa biofilms grown in the drip flow reactor DFR were less resistanttolera
