Abstract:
"Magnetic Resonance Microscopy of Biofilm Structure and Impact on Transport
in a Capillary Bioreactor"
04-006 Microorganisms that colonize surfaces, biofilms, are of
significant importance due to their role in medical infections, subsurface
contaminant remediation, and industrial processing. Spatially resolved data on
the distribution of biomass within a capillary bioreactor, the heterogeneity of
the biofilm itself and the impact on transport dynamics for a Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm in the natural growth state are presented. The data
demonstrate the ability of magnetic resonance microscopy to study spatially
resolved processes in bacterial biofilms, thus providing a basis for future
studies of spatially resolved metabolism and in vivo clinical detection.
