The Crystal Violet Assay For Biofilm: A Powerful Tool For Studying Microbial Communities
Biofilms are complex microbial communities that adhere to surfaces and are enclosed within a self-produced extracellular matrix composed of polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids. These biofilms are of great interest to researchers and clinicians alike due to their role in various processes, such as infection, biocorrosion, and microbial degradation. One common method used to study…
