Studies on the behaviour of Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms after ortho-phthalaldehyde treatment

A relatively novel biocide, ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA), was tested to control biofilms formed by Pseudomonas fluorescens on stainless steel surfaces. The toxic action of OPA was assessed in terms of inactivation and removal of the biofilm by means of, respectively, the determination of the respirato...
