Control of flow-generated biofilms with surfactants : evidence of resistance and recovery

The action of the cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), respectively a cationic and an anionic surfactant were investigated to control turbulent and laminar flow-generated biofilms formed by P. fluorescens. The disinfectant action of different concentrations of CTA...
