Effect of cationic surfactants on biofilm removal and mechanical stability

In this study, a methodology is proposed to evaluate the mechanical stability of biofilms, by using a stainless steel rotating device where biofilms formed by Pseudomonas fluorescens were allowed to grow for 7 days at 300 rmp. Those biofilms were afterwards submitted to the joined action of chemical...
