  • A multiscale approach to bacterial adhesion

    Creator:
    Ostvar, Sassan
    Abstract:
    This work is an attempt to develop a simple physical description for the initial interactions between a bacterial cell and a substrate surface. This is done by adopting a view that regards bacterial surface biomolecules not as secondary and add-on contributors to the potential energy function that characterizes the overall...

  • Bacterial hydrophobicity : assessment techniques, applications and extension to colloids

    Creator:
    Saini, Gaurav
    Abstract:
    This research details laboratory assessment of bacterial hydrophobicity, variations in bacterial adhesion properties with growth and extended starvation as well as extension of this assay to colloidal hydrophobicity measurement. Hydrophobicity is an integral component of surface interactions and has been studied extensively for its role in a number of engineering...
