Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is used for growing a reproducible Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm in a rotating disk reactor.
16、 The biofilmis established by operating the reactor in batch mode (no flow) for 24 h. Steady state growth (attachment is equal to detachment)is reached while the reactor operates for an additional 24 h with continuous flow of the nutrients.The residence time of the nutrientsin the reactor is set to
17、select for biofilm growth, and is species and reactor parameter specific. During the entire 48 h, the biofilmis exposed to continuous fluid shear from the rotation of the disk. At the end of the 48 h, biofilm accumulation is quantified byremoving coupons from the disk, harvesting the biofilm from th
18、e coupon surface, disaggregating the clumps, then diluting andplating for viable cell enumeration.5. Significance and Use5.1 Bacteria that exist in a biofilm are phenotypically different from suspended cells of the same genotype. The study of biofilmin the laboratory requires protocols that account
19、for this difference. Laboratory biofilms are engineered in growth reactors designedto produce a specific biofilm type. Altering system parameters will correspondingly result in a change in the biofilm. The purposeof this method is to direct a user in the laboratory study of biofilms by clearly defin
20、ing each system parameter. This method willenable a person to grow, sample, and analyze a laboratory biofilm. The method was originally developed to study toilet bowlbiofilms, but may also be utilized for research that requires a biofilm grown under moderate fluid shear.6. Apparatus6.1 Wooden Applic
