Abstract

The complex three-dimensional structure of biofilms is supported by extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) and additional insight on chemical variations in EPS and biofilm structure development will inform strategies for control of biofilms. Vibrio parahaemolyticus VPS36 biofilm development was studied using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and Raman spectroscopy (RM). The structural parameters of the biofilm (biovolume, mean thickness, and porosity) were characterized by CLSM and the results showed that VPS36 biofilm formed dense structures after 48 h incubation. There were concurrent variations in carbohydrates and nucleic acids contents in the EPS as evidenced by RM. The Raman intensities of the chemical component in EPS, measured using Pearson's correlation coefficient, were positively correlated with biovolume and mean thickness, and negatively correlated with porosity. The Raman intensity for carbohydrates correlated closely with mean thickness (p-value < 0.01) and the Raman intensity for nucleic acid correlated closely with porosity (p-value < 0.01). Additional evidence for these correlations were confirmed using scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and crystal violet staining.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 August 2018.
All research outputs
#22,767,715
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#26,920
of 29,299 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#298,849
of 341,562 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#652
of 752 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 29,299 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,562 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 752 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
