The effect of shear stress on the formation and removal of Bacillus cereus biofilms

The influence of the shear stress (tau(w)) under which biofilms were formed was assessed on their susceptibility to removal when exposed to chemical and mechanical stresses. A rotating cylinder reactor was used to form biofilms, allowing the simulation of tau(w) conditions similar to those found in...
