摘要: In this work, the uronic acids assay was evaluated for its potential to function as a bioassay screen antagonistic activity against production of microbial biofilm exopolysaccharide (EPS). The first applied biofilms produced in presence two universal disinfectants (sodium hypochlorite and sodium dodecyl sulfate) known inhibit growth formation. performance then characterized through statistical assessment threshold concentrations disinfection efficiency consistency relative values reported literature. utility screening enzymatic or chemical inhibitors formation (eg glycosidases, halogenated furanones, semi-crude fractions extracted from minimally fouled marine plants) ability distinguish between true anti-biofilm simple disinfection. Activity (i) no effect, (ii) positive effect (ie increased E...
