Abstract. Thermophilic Bacillus species readily attached and grew on stainless steel surfaces, forming mature biofilms of >106.0 cells/cm2 in 6 h on a surface inoculated with the bacteria. Clean… Expand
Evaluation of the effect of cleaning regimes on biofilms of thermophilic bacilli on stainless steel
Aims: To determine the mechanism for both the removal and inactivation of 18‐h biofilms of a thermophilic Bacillus species that optimally grows at 55°C on stainless steel.
Cloning of a mucin-desulfating sulfatase gene from Prevotella strain RS2 and its expression using a Bacteroides recombinant system.
