Quantitative Analysis of Bacteria in Biofilms
Biofilms are complex three-dimensional communities of microorganisms that grow at interfaces and interact with their surroundings. One of the most basic and commonly obtained types of bacterial measurements, whether in plankton or biofilm cultures, is to determine the number present. Now, CD BioSciences provides you with a variety of quantitative analysis of bacteria in biofilms service to meet your scientific research needs.
Our Services
CD BioSciences provides one-stop quantitative analysis of bacteria in biofilms service. We offer the following methods to choose from to meet your research needs:
Quantitative Analysis of Bacteria in Biofilms Approaches We Offer
- Plate counting method
Determination of viable cell count by plate count (colony forming units/ml or CFU) Viable cell count, also known as CFU/ml assay or aerobic plate count, is a standard quantitative method used to determine the number of viable cells.
- Flow-based cell counting method
Both Coulter counting and flow cytometry require the biofilm to be homogenized and suspended in liquid culture. While Coulter counters are less expensive, flow cytometry may yield more information about cells during the measurement.
- Optical and fluorescence microscopy methods
Cell counting and 3D characterization of biofilms can be accomplished using several microscopy methods, ranging from simple optical microscopy of suspended biofilms to volumetric and morphometric measurements of attached biofilms using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).
- Fluorescent dye and protein methods
Fluorescent dyes are typically fluorescent molecules, called fluorophores, or biomolecules attached to fluorophores that absorb and emit light while incorporated into biological structures. The emitted light is detected to generate images to analyze biofilm characteristics such as spatial cell viability, shape and function throughout the growth/treatment period. Another option to obtain cellular fluorescence is to genetically engineer the organism to express fluorescent proteins.
