Characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Films on Different Inorganic Surfaces before and after UV Light Exposure
LANGMUIR, 34(36), 10806–10815.
TL;DR:
The collected analysis indicates that the alteration of the inorganic materials' surface chemistry can lead to differences in biofilm formation and variable response from P. aeruginosa cells.

The changes of the surface properties of Au, GaN, and SiO x after UV light irradiation were used to actively influence the process of formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa films. The interfacial properties of the substrates were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The changes in the P. aeruginosa film properties were accessed by analyzing adhesion force maps and quantifying the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The collected analysis indicates that the alteration of the inorganic materials' surface chemistry can lead to differences in biofilm formation and variable response from P. aeruginosa cells.
