Influence of abrasion on biofilm detachment: evidence for stratification of the biofilm

Résumé

The objective of this paper was to understand the detachment of multispecies biofilm caused by abrasion. By submitting a biofilm to different abrasion strengths (collision of particles), stratification of biofilm cohesion could be highlighted and related to stratification of biofilm bacterial communities using the PCR-SSCP fingerprint method. The biofilm comprised a thick top layer, weakly cohesive and composed of one dominant species, and a thin basal layer, strongly cohesive and composed of a more diverse population. These observations suggest that microbial composition of biofilms may be an important parameter in understanding biofilm detachment.
