Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast coexist by providing nutrients as substrates for each other. LAB and yeast cells aggregate via specific interactions between mannose on the yeast surface and the mannose-binding protein (MBP) on the LAB surface. In addition to specific interactions via cell surface proteins, there are also nonspecific interactions related to microbial coaggregation; the extent of their contributions is not clear. Here, microbial coaggregation of yeast and LAB cells was investigated from the view point of particle technology. DLVO theory and thermodynamic approaches predicted that thermodynamically stable coaggregates are not formed because no hydrophobic interaction acts between yeast and LAB. In contrast, optical microscopy revealed that yeast with mannose and LAB with MBP were formed submillimeter-sized coaggregates, whereas deficient strains of yeast and/or LAB were dispersed. Single-cell force spectroscopy revealed that the median adhesion forces were less than 100 pN for all combinations of yeast and LAB. However, some of the adhesion forces between yeast with mannose and LAB with MBP were greater than 400 pN. Furthermore, in the presence of a microbial coaggregation inhibitor, coaggregation of yeast with mannose and LAB with MBP was suppressed, and the adhesion forces were less than 300 pN. These results indicate that the specific interaction rather than the nonspecific interactions acted between mannose on the yeast and the MBP on the LAB formed submillimeter-sized small aggregates. Understanding the contribution of predominant cell-cell interactions may help control microbial behavior in biotechnology.

Abstract
The main purpose of this work is to provide a comprehensive overview on the preparation of multifunctional epoxies, with improved antimicrobial activity and enhanced mechanical properties through nanomodification. In the first section, we focus on the approaches to achieve antimicrobial activity, as well as on the methods used to evaluate their efficacy against bacteria and fungi. Relevant application examples are also discussed, with particular reference to antifouling and anticorrosion coatings for marine environments, dental applications, antimicrobial fibers and fabrics, and others. Subsequently, we discuss the mechanical behaviors of nanomodified epoxies with improved antimicrobial properties, analyzing the typical damage mechanisms leading to the significant toughening effect of nanomodification. Some examples of mechanical properties of nanomodified polymers are provided. Eventually, the possibility of achieving, at the same time, antimicrobial and mechanical improvement capabilities by nanomodification with nanoclay is discussed, with reference to both nanomodified epoxies and glass/epoxy composite laminates. According to the literature, a nanomodified epoxy can successfully exhibit antibacterial properties, while increasing its fracture toughness, even though its tensile strength may decrease. As for laminates-obtaining antibacterial properties is not followed by improved interlaminar properties.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Understanding microparticle and living cell deposition and attachment on surfaces from a flow is a long-standing surface-science problem, pivotal to developing antifouling strategies. Recent studies indicate a complex non-conservative and surface-specific nature of adhesion and mechanical contact forces that determine attachment kinetics. This requires new models and kinetic data, however, observed deposition rates (e.g., in parallel-plate flow chamber, PPFC) represent a superposition of attachment and bulk transport. Here, we propose to deduce attachment rates (as an appropriate rate constant) from spatial deposition profiles along PPFC and develop an analytical solution for the full problem, suitable for deposition data analysis and parameter fitting. EXPERIMENTS Analytical solution, validated by numerical simulations, reveals relation between the deposition profile along PPFC and key model parameter B, the ratio of sedimentation and attachment rates. Its use is demonstrated on experimental data obtained in a PPFC for particles and bacteria on various surfaces. FINDINGS Fitted B values highlight correlation with the particle/substrate nature and consistently explain the observed trends along PPFC, both decreasing and increasing. Thus derived attachment rates will serve as basis for future microscopic modelling that would relate attachment to appropriate surface and contact-mechanical characteristics of particles and substrate and flow conditions.

Quantifying the relationship between surfaces' nano-contact point density and adhesion force of Candida albicans. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2020; 194:111177. [PMID: 32569885 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2020.111177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2020] [Revised: 05/11/2020] [Accepted: 06/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
It has been recently recognized that controlled surface structuring on the nanometer scale is a successful strategy to endow different materials with antimicrobial properties. Despite many studies on bacterial interactions with nanostructured surfaces, a quantitative link between surface topography and bacterial adhesion is still missing. To quantitatively link cell adhesion data with topographical surface parameters, we performed single-cell spectroscopy on chemically identical surfaces with controlled nano-contact point density achieved by immobilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) on gold thin films. Such materials surfaces have previously shown antimicrobial (anti-adhesive) efficacy towards Gram-negative Escherichia coli cells. In the current study, the influence of nano-structured surfaces on the surface coverage and adhesion forces of clinically relevant Candida albicans (C. albicans), the fungus primarily associated with implant infections, was investigated to validate their antimicrobial potency against different microbial cells. The adhesion forces of C. albicans cells to nanostructured surfaces showed a decreasing trend with decreasing contact-point density and correlated well with the results of the respective C. albicans cell counts. The surfaces with the lowest contact-point density, 25 AuNP/μm², resulted in an average adhesion force of 5 nN, which was up to 5 times lower compared to control and 61 AuNP/μm² surfaces. Further, detailed analyses of force-distance curves revealed that the work of adhesion, and thus the energy required to remove the C. albicans cell from the surface is up to 10 times lower on 25 AuNP/μm² surfaces compared to unstructured surfaces. These findings show that a controlled tuning of nanostructured surfaces in terms of accessible nano-contact points is crucial to generate surface structures with enhanced antimicrobial properties. The gained knowledge can be further exploited for the design of biomaterials surfaces to prevent adhesion of some most commonly encountered pathogens.

Abstract
Abstract
Bacterial adhesion to surfaces is related to several factors, such as surface charge, surface energy, and substrate characteristics (leading to the formation of biofilms). Organisms are dominant in most environmental, industrial, and medical problems and processes that are of interest to microbiologists. Biofilm cells are at least 500 times more resistant to antibacterial agents compared to planktonic cells. The usage of ultrafiltration membranes is fast becoming popular for water treatment. Membrane lifetime and permeate flux are primarily affected by the phenomena of microbial accumulation and fouling at the membrane’s surface. This review intends to understand the mechanism of membrane fouling by bacterial attachment on polymeric ultrafiltration membrane modified by natural antimicrobial polymers (chitosan) combined with powder activated carbon. Also, to guide future research on membrane water treatment processes, adhesion prediction using the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory is discussed.

Abstract
Bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation on biomedical implants and devices are a major cause of their failure. As systemic antibiotic treatment is often ineffective, there is an urgent need for antimicrobial biomaterials and coatings. The term "antimicrobial" can encompass different mechanisms of action (here termed "antimicrobial surface designs"), such as antimicrobial-releasing, contact-killing or non-adhesivity. Biomaterials equipped with antimicrobial surface designs based on different mechanisms of action require different in vitro evaluation methods. Available industrial standard evaluation tests do not address the specific mechanisms of different antimicrobial surface designs and have therefore been modified over the past years, adding to the myriad of methods available in the literature to evaluate antimicrobial surface designs. The aim of this review is to categorize fourteen presently available methods including industrial standard tests for the in vitro evaluation of antimicrobial surface designs according to their suitability with respect to their antimicrobial mechanism of action. There is no single method or industrial test that allows to distinguish antimicrobial designs according to all three mechanisms identified here. However, critical consideration of each method clearly relates the different methods to a specific mechanism of antimicrobial action. It is anticipated that use of the provided table with the fourteen methods will avoid the use of wrong methods for evaluating new antimicrobial designs and therewith facilitate translation of novel antimicrobial biomaterials and coatings to clinical use. The need for more and better updated industrial standard tests is emphasized. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE European COST-action TD1305, IPROMEDAI aims to provide better understanding of mechanisms of antimicrobial surface designs of biomaterial implants and devices. Current industrial evaluation standard tests do not sufficiently account for different, advanced antimicrobial surface designs, yet are urgently needed to obtain convincing in vitro data for approval of animal experiments and clinical trials. This review aims to provide an innovative and clear guide to choose appropriate evaluation methods for three distinctly different mechanisms of antimicrobial design: (1) antimicrobial-releasing, (2) contact-killing and (3) non-adhesivity. Use of antimicrobial evaluation methods and definition of industrial standard tests, tailored toward the antimicrobial mechanism of the design, as identified here, fulfill a missing link in the translation of novel antimicrobial surface designs to clinical use.

Abstract
Bacterial adhesion is a main problem in many biomedical, domestic, natural and industrial environments and forms the onset of the formation of a biofilm, in which adhering bacteria grow into a multi-layered film while embedding themselves in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances. It is usually assumed that bacterial adhesion occurs from air or by convective-diffusion from a liquid suspension, but often bacteria adhere by transmission from a bacterially contaminated donor to a receiver surface. Therewith bacterial transmission is mechanistically different from adhesion, as it involves bacterial detachment from a donor surface followed by adhesion to a receiver one. Transmission is further complicated when the donor surface is not covered with a single layer of adhering bacteria but with a multi-layered biofilm, in which case bacteria can be transmitted either by interfacial failure at the biofilm-donor surface or through cohesive failure in the biofilm. Transmission through cohesive failure in a biofilm is more common than interfacial failure. The aim of this review is to oppose surface thermodynamics and adhesion force analyses, as can both be applied towards bacterial adhesion, with their appropriate extensions towards transmission. Opposition of surface thermodynamics and adhesion force analyses, will allow to distinguish between transmission of bacteria from a donor covered with a (sub)monolayer of adhering bacteria or a multi-layered biofilm. Contact angle measurements required for surface thermodynamic analyses of transmission are of an entirely different nature than analyses of adhesion forces, usually measured through atomic force microscopy. Nevertheless, transmission probabilities based on Weibull analyses of adhesion forces between bacteria and donor and receiver surfaces, correspond with the surface thermodynamic preferences of bacteria for either the donor or receiver surface. Surfaces with low adhesion forces such as polymer-brush coated or nanostructured surfaces are thus preferable for use as non-adhesive receiver surfaces, but at the same time should be avoided for use as a donor surface. Since bacterial transmission occurs under a contact pressure between two surfaces, followed by their separation under tensile or shear pressure and ultimately detachment, this will affect biofilm structure. During the compression phase of transmission, biofilms are compacted into a more dense film. After transmission, and depending on the ability of the bacterial strain involved to produce extracellular polymeric substances, biofilm left-behind on a donor or transmitted to a receiver surface will relax to its original, pre-transmission structure owing to the viscoelasticity of the extracellular polymeric substances matrix, when present. Apart from mechanistic differences between bacterial adhesion and transmission, the low numbers of bacteria generally transmitted require careful selection of suitably sensitive enumeration methods, for which culturing and optical coherence tomography are suggested. Opposing adhesion and transmission as done in this review, not only yields a better understanding of bacterial transmission, but may stimulate researchers to more carefully consider whether an adhesion or transmission model is most appropriate in the specific area of application aimed for, rather than routinely relying on adhesion models.

Abstract
Membrane vesicles (MVs) are secreted from a wide range of microbial species and transfer their content to other cells. Although MVs play critical roles in bacterial communication, whether MVs selectively interact with bacterial cells in microbial communities is unclear. In this study, we investigated the specificity of the MV-cell interactions and evaluated the potential of MVs to target bacterial cells for delivery. MV association with bacterial cells was examined using a fluorescent membrane dye to label MVs. MVs derived from the enterobacterium Buttiauxella agrestis specifically interacted with cells of the parent strain but interacted less specifically with those of other genera tested in this study. Electron microscopic analyses showed that MVs were not only attached on B. agrestis cells but also fused to them. The interaction energy, which was characterized by hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential based on the Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory, was significant low between MVs and cells in B. agrestis, compared to those between B. agrestis MVs and cells of other genera. Similar specific interaction was also occurred between B. agrestis MVs and cells of six other species belonging to Buttiauxella spp. B. agrestis harboring plasmid pBBR1MCS-1 secreted plasmid-containing MVs (p-MVs), and plasmid DNA in p-MVs was transferred to the same species. Moreover, antibiotic-associated MVs enabled effective killing of target species; the survival rate of B. agrestis was lower than those of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the presence of gentamicin-associated MVs derived from B. agrestis. Altogether, we provide the evidence that MVs selectively interact with target bacterial cells and offer a new avenue for controlling specific bacterial species using bacterial MVs in microbial communities.

Abstract
The effects of surface physicochemical properties of functionalized polystyrene latex (PSL) nanoparticles (NPs) and model filamentous fungi Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus nidulans cultivated in different environment (aqueous and atmospheric environment) on the colloidal behavior and cytotoxicity were investigated in different isotonic solutions (154 mM NaCl and 292 mM sucrose). When the liquid cultivated fungal cells were exposed to positively charged PSL NPs in 154 mM NaCl solution, the NPs were taken into A. oryzae, but not A. nidulans. Atomic force microscopy revealed that the uptake of NPs was more readily through the cell wall of A. oryzae because of its relatively softer cell wall compared with A. nidulans. In contrast, the positively charged PSL NPs entirely covered the liquid cultivated fungal cell surfaces and induced cell death in 292 mM sucrose solution because of the stronger electrostatic attractive force between the cells and NPs compared with in 154 mM NaCl. When the agar cultivated fungal cells were exposed to the positively charged PSL NPs, both fungal cells did not take the NPs inside the cells. Contact angle measurement revealed that the hydrophobin on the agar cultivated cell surfaces inhibited the uptake of NPs because of its relatively more hydrophobic cell surface compared with the liquid cultivated cells.

Abstract
The effects of the presence or absence of microbial flagella and the microbial motility on the colloidal behaviors of microbial cells were quantitatively evaluated. The microbial cell attachment and detachment processes on a glass surface were observed directly using a parallel-plate flow chamber. Wild-type, flagellar paralyzed, and nonflagellated Escherichia coli strains were used as model microbial cells. In the cell attachment tests, the microbial adhesion rate in a 160mM NaCl solution was approximately 10 times higher than that in a 10mM solution, for all E. coli strains. The colloidal behavior of the microbial cells agreed well with the predictions of the DLVO theory. In addition, the microbial flagella and motility did not significantly affect the cell attachment, regardless of the existence of a potential barrier between the cell and the glass substratum. In the cell detachment tests, the cumulative number of microbial cells detached from the glass substratum with increasing flow rate was fit well with the Weibull distribution function. The list of strains arranged in order of increasing median drag force required to remove them was nonflagellated strain, flagellar paralyzed strain, and wild-type strain. These results indicated that the flagella and the flagellar motility inhibited the cell detachment from the glass substratum. Furthermore, a large external force would likely be required to inhibit the microbial adhesion in the early stage of the biofilm formation.
