“…These factors indeed decide the extent of adhesion of the microorganism to the substrate and alterations in these factors can lead to desorption of the microbial community which in turn influences their productive aspects [80]. There are several advantages that favor the bacterial communities that are enclosed within the extra polymeric matrix and the extent of competence and complexity enhances as the stages progresses.…”

“…6 The extreme surface sensitivity of SPR has also found applications in the visualization of cell/substrate contact 7 as well as for the study of cell adhesion and proliferation. 8,9 Surface plasmons may be described as quantized surfacebound electromagnetic waves confined to and propagating along the interface of a metal and a dielectric. Surface plasmons can be resonantly excited by visible light in a setup known as the Kretschmann configuration wherein light, incident through a prism, is reflected from a thin metal film.…”

Novel application of imaging surface plasmon resonance for in situ studies of the surface exploration of marine organisms

The surface interactions of exploring cyprids of the barnacle Semibalanus balanoides were studied in situ using imaging surface plasmon resonance. It was demonstrated how the deposition of a proteinaceous adhesive could be followed in real time as the cyprids explored and temporarily attached to a surface. Furthermore, the amount of protein left on the surface when the cyprids moved on could be quantified. Clear differences were demonstrated between an oligo(ethyleneglycol) coated surface and a bare gold substrate. It is anticipated that this technique will be a valuable tool in the development of novel surface chemistries that can prevent biofouling.

Aims Microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is one of the bio‐cementation methods for improving granular soils. This study evaluate the feasibility of obtaining a bacterial solution with high optical density and urease activity by an inexpensive corn steep liquor (CSL) medium in non‐sterile conditions in order to achieve sand improvement. Methods and Results Corn steep liquor media with different concentrations (different dilution rates) were prepared and, without any autoclaving (non‐sterile conditions), different percentage of the inoculum solutions were added to them and incubated. Effect of inoculum solution percentage and CSL dilution rates on specifications of bacterial solution was evaluated. Urease activity and scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X‐Ray Diffraction (XRD) were used to efficiency of CLS media in sand improvement. The considerable urease activity was measured as 5·7 mS cm−1 min−1 using nonsterile CLS. By using CYNU (CSL‐Yeast extract‐NH4Cl‐Urea) bacterial solution, the urease activity of 5·5 mS cm−1 min−1 for the OD600 (optical density at 600 nm) of 1·88 and, consequently, specific urease activity of 2·93 mS cm−1 min−1 OD600−1 was obtained. The highest unconfined compressive strength (811 kPa) was obtained for the CYNU. XRD revealed new calcite peaks next to the quartz peaks. Conclusions Production of inexpensive bacterial solution using diluted CSL as the inexpensive, effective and powerful culture media for Sporosarcina pasteurii cultivation in nonsterile conditions, allows geotechnical and biotechnological engineers to use MICP technology more widely in land improvement and field‐scale bio‐cementation and bioremediation projects. Significance and Impact of the Study Obtaining high urease activity of inexpensive microbial solution using diluted CSL as the culture medium in nonsterile conditions, as the unique results of this study, can be significant in the field of bioremediation studies using MICP.
