Abstract:

Microbial damages caused by biofilm bacteria in the dairy industry are a fundamental threat to the safety and quality of milk products. Many bacteria in industrial settings tend to form multicellular communities known as biofilms. Bacterial cells are extremely protected in the biofilms due to a selfproduced matrix that consists mainly of sugars and proteins, which form a physical barrier. Biofilms are not only a potential source of contamination, but can also increase corrosion rate, reduce heat transfer and increase fluid frictional resistance. Therefore, mitigation of biofilm forming species will enable the development of novel means and technologies for preventing biofilm formation and subsequent contamination of dairy products. In our laboratory, we are developing different approaches for surface modification in order to control and minimize bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation.
