The Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology of the University of Tartu teaches the offspring of young researchers at all levels. Our researchers are at the top level in world-class science.
ResearchRiho Teras, Associate Professor in Genetics published an article with his colleagues about the biofilm of Pseudomonas putida in the journal Microorganisms. Researchers elucidate how the components of the medium affect the biofilm development in a closed system. Peptides in the environment may influence mature biofilm as a structural factor and not only as an energy source. Testing the effect of other biopolymers on biofilm formation showed variable results even for polymers with a similar charge, indicating that biopolymers can affect P. putida biofilm through a number of bacterial factors.
