aProduction of nuclease was measured on DNase agar, and is indicated by a ‘+’ sign. bIsolates grew poorly in both the planktonic and biofilm phase. cND, not determined.
An existing bead-beating DNA extraction protocol was employed to compare the DNA extraction recovery and fragment quality of 6 different aeration diffuser biofilms. Escherichia coli , Gordoni
