“…Biofilms of P. membranifaciens have been also reported in a rotating biological contactor (RBC) for the treatment of wine-cellar effluent [ 49 ]. Tomičić et al [ 50 ] showed that yeasts can adhere to wooden surfaces. This ability is influenced by wood type, disinfectant, relative humidity, and temperature [ 50 ], but not by wood surface roughness [ 51 ].…”

“…Tomičić et al [ 50 ] showed that yeasts can adhere to wooden surfaces. This ability is influenced by wood type, disinfectant, relative humidity, and temperature [ 50 ], but not by wood surface roughness [ 51 ]. The ability to form biofilm on wooden matrixes could represent a problem for wine quality since the spoilage metabolism of some yeast species such as P. manshurica could be maintained during wine aging [ 11 ].…”

In this study, yeasts isolated from filter membranes used for the quality control of bottled wines were identified and tested for their resistance to some cleaning agents and potassium metabisulphite, adhesion to polystyrene and stainless-steel surfaces, and formation of a thin round biofilm, referred to as a MAT. A total of 40 strains were identified by rRNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) restriction analysis and sequence analysis of D1/D2 domain of 26S rRNA gene. Strains belong to Pichia manshurica (12), Pichia kudriavzevii (9), Pichia membranifaciens (1), Candida sojae (6), Candida parapsilosis (3), Candida sonorensis (1), Lodderomyces elongisporus (2), Sporopachydermia lactativora (3), and Clavispora lusitaniae (3) species. Regarding the adhesion properties, differences were observed among species. Yeasts preferred planktonic state when tested on polystyrene plates. On stainless-steel supports, adhered cells reached values of about 6 log CFU/mL. MAT structures were formed only by yeasts belonging to the Pichia genus. Yeast species showed different resistance to sanitizers, with peracetic acid being the most effective and active at low concentrations, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 0.08% (v/v) to 1% (v/v). C. parapsilosis was the most sensible species. Data could be exploited to develop sustainable strategies to reduce wine contamination and establish tailored sanitizing procedures.

“…Staphylococcus aureus) and yeasts (Pichia membranifaciens) artificially inoculated onto the surface of three wood types: poplar, Norway spruce and European beech (25). Although not able to quantify microbial cells, SEM micrographs clearly showed the different adherence behaviour of the species included in the test and indicated that P. aeruginosa was the species that better adhered to all wood types.…”

RiassuntoLa maturazione dei formaggi è un fenomeno complesso che dipende da vari fattori. Tra questi, l'influenza delle scaffalature in legno impiegate per la maturazione dei formaggi tradizionali è un aspetto sottovalutato e poco studiato. Le superfici delle assi di legno sono a contatto con la crosta del formaggio per l'intero periodo di maturazione e sviluppano una comunità microbica. L'obiettivo di questo articolo è quello di fornire una panoramica sugli approcci microbiologici applicati per studiare i biofilm associati alle attrezzature in legno impiegate per le produzioni casearie e riassumere gli studi eseguiti nello specifico sugli scaffali di legno utilizzati per maturare i formaggi tradizionali. La discussione critica è focalizzata sugli aspetti igienici e sulla sicurezza di questi sistemi applicati per secoli nella produzione dei formaggi.

“…Coating of wood materials may decrease or diminish the surface hygroscopicity, thus influencing microbial adhesion and survival [67]. Hedge [16] studied the survival of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus on untreated and varnished beechwood, and plastic.…”

“…The lower microbial recovery and moisture retention of wooden surfaces also lead to the assumption that the microbes are strongly attached to wooden surfaces which could help the biofilm formation [98]. However, many studies have shown that microbial attachment to wood is not stronger compared to other smooth surfaces [67]. In fact, in our recent study, we found that the bacteria attached more to non-porous melamine surfaces and formed biofilm while no biofilm was found on oak wood surfaces in similar experimental conditions [99].…”

Wood materials are being adopted as nature-based architectural themes inside the healthcare buildings. Concern is raised that the organic and porous character of wood might support microbial survival. Therefore, this review discusses the hygienic properties of wood including the antimicrobial potential and its cleanability in comparison to smooth surface materials. In general, wood has antimicrobial properties owing to its chemical composition and physical structure. However, the hygienic potential of wood is influenced by the type of wood, age of wood, the cleaning method, surface treatment, and its moisture content. This information is intended to guide decision-makers regarding the use of wood in hygienically sensitive places and researchers to help them identify the variables for better utilizing the hygienic potential of this material.
