An improved and versatile methodology to quantify biofilms formed on solid surfaces and exposed to the air–liquid interphase

To study pellicle formation, a new method has been developed to quantify biofilm formed on solid surfaces and exposed to air–liquid interphase. It is a versatile system since different adherent material surfaces might be tested. The methodology is a robust and reproducible approach to quantify biofi...
