This document is a review of a CD featuring piano performances by Emile Naoumoff, a renowned musician originally from Bulgaria. The CD includes piano interpretations of three works by Robert Schumann: Fantasie in C major, Op. 17, Carnaval Op. 9, and a piano transcription of 'Mondnacht' from Liederkreis Op. 39. The review praises Naoumoff's expressive and unconventional approach to tempo and phrasing in his interpretation of the Fantasie Op. 17. It also discusses Naoumoff's addition of a quotation from another piece in his transcription of the Fantasie, and his interpretation of Schumann's Carnaval with a focus on expressiveness and directionality. Overall, Naoumoff's interpretation of these works offers a rich and imaginative experience for the listener. [Extracted from the article]

The news spread in the media in 2009 which explicit doubts about Semenya Mokgadi Caster's gender's veracity it´s the starting point in this article to problematize the imbrication between gender, body and sexuality. That interconnection has resulted precisely to make evident the difficulties to understand complexity of this implications in the social imaginary governed by binary knowledge materialized in one functional heteronormative body that shows specifics irremovable characteristics for woman and man. This paper shows crossings and processes how we become in a body and explicitly the insistence to continue pointing out the true in the biological paradigms have categorized subjects associated with normal and the rejection according to the body's intelligibility which feminization-masculinization, appearance and morphology produce a cotidian constraint. This raised discussion about the regulatory system that search homogeneity of corporeity are explained with the arguments of Judith Butler, Judith Halberstam and Robert McRuer to explain how elapse social interaction reiterates and produce this slant believe the minority or a few people were affected by that and certainly there is nobody exempt., La noticia difundida en los medios de comunicación en el año 2009 que explicitó dudas de la veracidad del género de Semenya Mokgadi Caster es el punto de partida en este artículo para problematizar la imbricación entre género, cuerpo y sexualidad que ha dado lugar precisamente a las dificultades para comprender la complejidad de esas implicaciones en el imaginario social que se rige por un saber binario sustentado y materializado en un cuerpo funcional heteronormado que muestra características específicas e inamovibles para hombre y mujer. El interés de este texto se detiene en mostrar cruces y procesos de cómo devenimos en un cuerpo y la insistencia de continuar enmarcando la verdad en los paradigmas biológicos que han categorizado a los sujetos vinculándolos con la normalidad y la animadversión de acuerdo a la inteligibilidad de los cuerpos cuya feminización-masculinización, apariencia y morfología produce un constreñimiento cotidiano. La discusión planteada sobre el sistema regulatorio que busca la homogeneidad de la corporeidad se sustenta en aportaciones de Judith Btuler, Judith Halberstam y Robert McRuer para explicitar cómo es el transcurrir de la interacción social se reitera y produce ese sesgo de creer que sólo unos cuantos o una minoría es afectada o abyecta, cuando no hay posibilidad de quedar exento.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of coating nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2 NPs) and irradiation -UV on plates of titanium (Ti) for the adhesion and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). A total of 15 Ti plates were divided into three groups (n = 5); (i) control Ti, (ii) experimental: Ti+TiO2 NPs, (iii) experimental: Ti+TiO2 NPs+UV. The plates were analyzed with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the roughness (Ra and Rmax) was determined. UV irradiation was performed for 20 min. HGF were subcultured in DMEM+10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37 °C with 5 % CO2. 2x106 cells/mL were inoculated on the plates and incubated for 1 h and washed with phosphate buffer saline (PBS). In the case of cell proliferation, cells were incubated for further 24 h more. Cell viability was determined with the MTT method, the formazan was dissolved with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and analyzed at 540 nm. Experiments were performed of three independent experiments and data were analyzed by Kruskall-Wallis and multiple comparison of Mann-Whitney test. The surface topography of samples corresponded as follow: Ti (Ra= 0,492 µm y Rms= 0.640 µm), Ti+NPs TiO2, (Ra= 0.55 µm y Rms= 0.714 µm), respectively. The coating with TiO2 NPs significantly (p

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico Bacteria have a communication system among cells, dependent on cellular density, called quorum sensing. Knowledge of phenotypes controlled by this system, such as production of hydrolytic enzymes which result in food spoilage, biofilm formation and mechanisms of pathogenicity will contribute to elucidate important processes in food microbiology and development of control strategies for pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms. The aim of this study was to determine the phenotypes regulated by quorum sensing in Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from cooled raw milk. Phenotypic characteristics, such as production of the hydrolytic enzymes, motility, biofilm formation and protein profile of A. hydrophila ATCC 7966 and Embrapa 029 wild-type strains, and acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs)-deficient mutant were compared. A. hydrophila QS mutants were constructed using a site-directed mutagenesis strategy. The ahyI gene was interrupted by gentamicin 3-acetyltransferase gene using the suicide vector pKNG101. Mutant bacteria 029-8, 029-14 and 029-21 showed the quorum sensing system compromised and they were not able to produce detectable AHL by the Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. However, A. hydrophila mutants showed intact ahyI and ahyR when analyzed by PCR. By RT-PCR technique, A. hydrophila mutant strain QS 029-14 was unable to transcribe ahyI and ahyR genes, which proved the inability to produce the regulatory protein response (AhyR) and AHL synthase (AhyI). These mutants lost the capacity to hydrolyze gelatin and showed losses or reduction of proteolytic activity. Swimming motility and β-hemolysis activity were observed in wild-type strain while these characteristics were absent in A. hydrophila QS 029-14. This leads to the indication that these features are under regulation of quorum sensing system. Both wild-type and mutant strains showed amylase and lipase activities. A. hydrophila wild-type and its mutant strain QS 029-14 were able to adhere on stainless steel coupons immersed in TYEP broth. The mutant strain QS 029-14 showed a lower adhesion which was verified by both the viable sessile cells counts and microscopic analysis of the coupons. This result strongly indicates the role of quorum sensing mechanism in the regulation of biofilm formation in this species. Polyacrylamide gel analysis of cell-free supernatants and intracellular proteins showed a differential expression of intracellular and extracellular proteins produced by A. hydrophila ATCC 7966 and Embrapa 029 wild-type strains and A. hydrophila 029-14 mutant strain. These data leads to the indication that quorum sensing system might be involved in the regulation of some extracellular and intracellular proteins. The mass spectrometry analysis and sequencing of the amino-terminal region of the protein band present in the extracellular supernatant of the mutant strain QS 029-14 suggest an increased expression of ABC-type transporter. These results suggest that the quorum sensing system or the factor or factors related to the transcription of genes ahyI and ahyR regulate the expression of genes responsible for the proteolytic activity, β-hemolysis, motility and biofilm formation in A. hydrophila. As bactérias apresentam um sistema elaborado de comunicação entre células dependente de densidade celular, denominado quorum sensing. O conhecimento de fenótipos controlados por esse sistema, como a produção de enzimas hidrolíticas que resultam na deterioração de alimentos, formação de biofilmes e mecanismos de patogenicidade podem contribuir para a elucidação de processos importantes na microbiologia de alimentos e permitir a elaboração de estratégias de controle de patógenos e deterioradores. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar fenótipos regulados por quorum sensing em Aeromonas hydrophila, isolada de leite cru refrigerado. Foram comparadas características fenotípicas, como produção de enzimas hidrolíticas, motilidade, formação de biofilmes e perfil protéico das estirpes selvagens Embrapa 029 e ATCC 7966 de A. hydrophila mutantes incapazes de sintetizar homoserina lactonas aciladas (AHLs), moléculas sinal do sistema quorum sensing. Os mutantes de A. hydrophila foram construídos utilizando a estratégia de mutação sítio dirigida, pela interrupção do gene ahyI com o gene que codifica gentamicina-3-acetiltransferase, utilizando o vetor suicida pKNG101. Os mutantes 029-8, 029-14 e 029-21, comprovadamente apresentaram o sistema quorum sensing comprometido e não foram capazes de produzir AHL detectáveis pelo biomonitor Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. Entretanto, estes mutantes apresentaram os genes ahyI e ahyR intactos quando analisados por PCR. Pela técnica de RT-PCR foi constatado que A. hydrophila QS 029-14 foi incapaz de transcrever os genes ahyR e ahyI, o que comprovou a incapacidade de produzir a proteína reguladora de resposta (AhyR) e a sintase de AHL (AhyI). Estes mutantes perderam a capacidade de hidrolisar gelatina e apresentaram perda ou redução da atividade de hidrólise de caseína. A atividade de β-hemólise e a motilidade tipo swimming, comumente observada na estirpe selvagem, não foram observadas no mutante A. hydrophila QS 029-14, o que indica que estas características estão sob regulação do quorum sensing. As estirpes selvagens e mutantes apresentaram atividades das enzimas amilase e lipases. Estirpes selvagens e o mutante QS 029-14 de A. hydrophila foram capazes de aderir aos cupons de aço inoxidável imersos em meio TYEP. Entretanto, menor adesão do mutante QS 029-14 foi verificada tanto pela contagem de células sésseis viáveis como pela observação microscópica dos cupons. Este resultado reforça as evidências do envolvimento do mecanismo de quorum sensing na regulação da formação de biofilmes nesta espécie. A análise dos sobrenadantes livres de células e de proteínas intracelulares, em gel de poliacrilamida 12 %, evidenciou a expressão diferencial de proteínas extracelulares e intracelulares produzidas pelas estirpes A. hydrophila Embrapa 029, ATCC 7966 e A. hydrophila mutante QS 029-14, sugerindo que o sistema quorum sensing pode estar envolvido na regulação de algumas proteínas extracelulares e intracelulares. A análise de espectrometria de massa e sequenciamento da região amino-terminal de uma banda de proteína presente no sobrenadante extracelular da estirpe mutante QS 029-14 sugerem uma maior expressão de transportador ABC nesta estirpe. Os resultados sugerem que o sistema quorum sensing ou o fator ou fatores que regulam a transcrição dos genes ahyI e ahyR regulam a expressão de genes responsáveis pela atividade proteolítica, β-hemólise, motilidade, formação de biofilmes e possivelmente de transportadores de membrana em A. hydrophila.

Quorum sensing ,Lactonase ,CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::MICROBIOLOGIA [CNPQ] ,Enterobacter cloacae - Abstract
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior Many bacteria present an elaborate system of communication dependent of cell density known as quorum sensing, and the knowledge of the phenotypes controlled by this mechanism may contribute for the elucidation of important processes in food microbiology. The objective of this study was to determine phenotypes regulated by quorum sensing in Enterobacter cloacae 067 isolated from cooled raw milk. Phenotypic characteristics of E. cloacae 067 wild type were compared to the transconjugant strain, that synthesizes the lactonase enzyme, which is responsible for hydrolysis of Nacylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) that are signal molecules of the quorum sensing system. Wild type and transconjugant strains of E. cloacae 067 were grown in temperatures from 4 °C until 43 °C. The optimum temperature was between 36 °C and 43 °C and the maximum population was reached at 30 °C. The optical density of transconjugant strain culture was higher (p < 0,05) than the wild type in both complex and in mineral medium which contained only one organic carbon source. The swarming motility was not verified in E. cloacae strains tested and the twitching motility was not modified in the transconjugant. Biofilms was formed in polystyrene surface and E. cloacae 067 wild type presented higher adhesion than the transconjugant strain when cultivated in Luria Bertani medium (LB), triptona, extract yeast and phosphate medium (TYEP), and in minimal medium (MMS). The addition of calcium to the TYEP medium reduced the biofilm formation by the wild type, but not in the transconjugant. In stainless steel surface, the adhesion of the wild type was approximately one logarithmic cycle higher than the transconjugant until 48 hours of incubation. After this period, differences were not detected in both microscopic observation and in the counting of adhered viable cells. The difference in adhesion of E. cloacae 067 wild type and transconjugant in polystyrene and stainless steel suggests that quorum sensing system regulates biofilm formation by this strain. Amylases, celulases, lipases and pectinases activities were not verified in the wild type and transconjugant strains of E. cloacae 067. However, the transconjugant strain was capable to use gelatin after 12 days of incubation at 30 °C. The transconjugant of E. cloacae 067 presented higher proteolytic activity in casein agar and in LB agar added of 2% (w/v) of skim milk. This strain also presented higher degree of proteolyses than the wild type. The spoilage of reconstituted 12% (w/v) skim milk and of pasteurized milk for E. cloacae 067 transconjugant occurred after 36 hours of incubation, while the milk spoilage for the wild type strain occurred only after 96 hours. These results suggest the existence of a mechanism of partial negative regulation of proteolytic activity in E. cloacae 067 for the quorum sensing system. The proteolytic activity of both strains was not detected in the zimogram azocasein gel. However, when gelatin was used as substrate, it was possible to observe proteolytic activity in protein extract of the wild type and transconjugant strains. Analysis of the free supernatant of cells, concentrated 15 turn, in SDS-PAGE exhibited higher number of extracellular protein bands produced by E. cloacae 067 wild type than the transconjugant. Therefore, this suggests that besides proteases, quorum sensing system may be involved in the regulation of other extracellular proteins. Muitas bactérias apresentam um sistema elaborado de comunicação entre células dependente de densidade celular, denominado como quorum sensing, e o conhecimento de fenótipos controlados por esse mecanismo pode contribuir para a elucidação de processos importantes na microbiologia de alimentos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar fenótipos regulados por quorum sensing em Enterobacter cloacae 067, isolado de leite cru refrigerado. Foram comparadas características fenotípicas da estirpe selvagem de E. cloacae 067 com uma estirpe transconjugante, que sintetiza a enzima lactonase, responsável pela hidrólise de acil homoserina lactonas (AHLs), moléculas sinal do sistema quorum sensing. Estirpes selvagem e transconjugante de E. cloacae 067 cresceram em temperaturas de 4 °C a 43 °C, com ótimo entre 36 °C e 43 °C e a população máxima foi atingida a 30 °C. A densidade óptica das culturas da estirpe transconjugante foram maiores (p < 0,05) do que a da selvagem, tanto em meios de cultura complexos como em meios minerais, contendo uma única fonte de carbono orgânico. A motilidade por espalhamento não foi verificada nas estirpes testadas e a motilidade por contração não foi alterada no transconjugante. Biofilmes foram formados em superfície de poliestireno e a estirpe E. cloacae 067 selvagem apresentou maior adesão que a estirpe transconjugante, quando cultivada nos meios Luria Bertani (LB), triptona, extrato de levedura e fosfato (TYEP) e meio mínimo de sais (MMS). A adição de cálcio ao meio TYEP reduziu a formação de biofilmes pela estirpe selvagem, mas não na transconjugante. Em superfície de aço inoxidável a adesão da estirpe selvagem foi cerca de um ciclo logarítmico maior do que a transconjugante, por até 48 horas de incubação. Após este período, diferenças entre as estirpes não foram detectadas, tanto na observação microscópica quanto na contagem de células viáveis aderidas. A diferença na adesão de E. cloacae 067 selvagem e transconjugante em poliestireno e em aço inoxidável sugere que o sistema quorum sensing regula a formação de biofilmes nesta estirpe. Atividades das enzimas amilases, celulases, lipases e pectinases não foram verificadas nas estirpes selvagem e transconjugante de E. cloacae 067. Entretanto, o transconjugante foi capaz de liquefazer a gelatina após 12 dias de incubação a 30 °C, o que não foi observado na estirpe selvagem. O transconjugante de E. cloacae 067 também apresentou maior atividade proteolítica em ágar caseinato e em ágar LB acrescido de 2 % de leite e maior grau de proteólise do leite do que o selvagem. A coagulação do leite desnatado reconstituído a 12 % e do leite pasteurizado por E. cloacae 067 transconjugante ocorreu após 36 horas de incubação, enquanto a estirpe selvagem coagulou o leite somente após 96 horas. Estes resultados sugerem a existência de um mecanismo de regulação negativa da atividade proteolítica em E. cloacae 067 pelo sistema quorum sensing. A atividade proteolítica de ambas as estirpes avaliadas não foi detectada em zimograma contendo azocaseína como substrato. Entretanto, quando gelatina foi usada como substrato, foi possível a observação de atividade proteolítica no extrato proteico das estirpes selvagem e transconjugante no gel. A análise dos sobrenadantes livres de células e concentrados 15 vezes, em gel de poliacrilamida evidenciou maior número de bandas de proteínas extracelulares produzidas pela E. cloacae 067 selvagem do que pela transconjugante, sugerindo que o sistema quorum sensing pode estar envolvido na regulação de outras proteínas extracelulares, além de proteases.

- Abstract
The objective of this study was to detect the presence of acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), signal molecules of the quorum sensing system in biofilm formed by Hafnia alvei strains. It also evaluated the effect of synthetic quorum sensing inhibitors in biofilm formation. AHLs were assayed using well diffusion techniques, thin layer chromatography (TLC) and detection directly in biofilm with biomonitors. The extracts obtained from planktonic and sessile cell of H. alvei induced at least two of three monitor strains evaluated. The presence of AHLs with up to six carbon atoms was confirmed by TLC. Biofilm formation by H. alvei was inhibited by furanone, as demonstrated by 96-well assay of crystal violet in microtitre plates and by scanning electron microscopy. The H. alvei 071 hall mutant was deficient in biofilm formation. All these results showed that the quorum sensing system is probably involved in the regulation of biofilm formation by H. alvei.

22. Invisible Work, Power, and Money: Gender Inequality in Shared Parenting within Child Custody Arrangements

- Abstract
Most parents in the U.S. are raising children outside the romanticized heteropatriarchal, nuclear family–56% of children are growing up outside of two parent households in their first marriage (Livingston 2014). Yet I argue that the legacies of foundational feminist theories and extant sociological research on families have largely neglected the division of caregiving work in diverse contemporary family forms. One growing branch of contemporary family forms is shared parenting in child custody arrangements. The Office of Child Support Enforcement served 14.7 million children in 2018. Drawing on qualitative data of in-depth interviews with 50 parents, this dissertation explores how child custody agreements translate into daily life and what happens to the gendered division of parenting work in these separated family forms. The first study of this dissertation presents the theoretically expansive concept of the “custody load.” In the context of family separation, the custody load is the invisible, distinct mechanisms necessary to manage practical logistics of state-sanctioned shared parenting rooted in the legal compulsory involvement of biological fathers. I find that mothers coordinate care between households, ensure court-promoted paternal participation, and compensate for fathers’ (lack of) caregiving labor. Further, Black mothers’ custody load is made heavier by state racism fathers face. This study underscores how macro-level shifts in culture and law toward gender neutrality can obfuscate that gender inequality is exacerbated in micro-level experiences within the family—in short, increased father involvement does not equate to fair care. The second study of this dissertation offers the term “power moves” to analyze the interactional mechanisms parents deploy to exert (or deflect) influence over each other. I find that fathers primarily exercise power moves over mothers utilizing physical and legal custody as mechanisms to prioritize their own paid or leisure time and avoid invisible work associated with decision-making. Further, Black parents’ interactions are more challenging due to experiences of racial bias in the family court system. This study illuminates the interactional process of power in the family by situating micro-level experiences of inequality within macro-level changes that purport gender equality while reconstituting patriarchy. The third study of this dissertation conceptualizes “invested mothering” to explain how state structures uphold the breadwinner-caregiver dichotomy by obscuring that financially providing has been integrated into caregiving under state-mandated child support. I find that the onus is on mothers to secure financial resources for children’s basic and enrichment needs through invisible, paid, and relational work strategies. Low-income Black mothers deploy adaptive strategies of self-reliance and are on the receiving end of fathers’ misdirected frustrations. This study highlights that legal and cultural expectations of women’s caregiving have been reconstituted to incorporate financial provision, collapsing the public and private sphere into each other–which are often in conflict–within an androcentric social landscape. Collectively, these dissertation studies lean on an intersectional lens to mirror the experiences of contemporary U.S. parents vis-à-vis interlocking systems of gender, social class, and race. More specifically, the findings underscore that child custody arrangements adjudicated utilizing gender-neutral family laws ignore and obfuscate entrenched social gender expectations resulting in an unequal playing field day in and day out for mothers contending with interactions of invisible work, power, and money. Low-income Black mothers are the most disadvantaged in these shared parenting arrangements due to sexism, historical economic inequality, and systemic racism. Child custody arrangements buttress patriarchy.

This paper presents a new interpretation of the first movement of Schumann's Fantasie op. 17 that combines formal function and expressive gesture. It offers a brief critique of previous interpretations, and presents a reading based on simultaneous conflicting designs, a number of fluid sections that change functions as they move toward and away from points of stability, and an overall narrative that arises from repeated denials of the kind of fulfillment associated with normative dynamic curves.

The aim of this work was to evaluate a quorum-quenching approach to identify functions regulated by quorum sensing in Enterobacter cloacae. We employed an aiiA transconjugant strain of E. cloacae that synthesizes a lactonase enzyme that hydrolyzes N-acyl homoserine lactone signaling molecules to compare bacterial phenotypes in the presence and absence of quorum signals. The aiiA-expressing strain displayed increased proteolytic activity and intensity of a milk-clotting reaction when compared to the wild-type strain. Although both strains growing on polystyrene plates in rich media and a minimal medium of salts formed biofilms, the wild-type strain exhibited a higher number of adhered cells. On the surface of stainless steel coupons that were submerged in culture media, the number of adhered cells of the wild type contained up to one log more cells compared with the aiiA transconjugant. However, after 48 h of incubation, there was no significant difference between the strains. The results demonstrated that the quorum-sensing system negatively regulates proteolytic activity and is likely involved in the early steps of biofilm formation by E. cloacae 067.

Local Tolerance studies for vaccine products are a main link in the chain of Regulatory Requirements for toxicological preclinical studies. Mainly considering that the use of mucosal road seems to be a current tendency due to the advantages it offers. Sprague Dawley rats of both sexes weighing 100-120 g (reception weight) provided by CENPALAB with the corresponding certificates of sanitary and genetic quality were used in this test. Local tolerance study lasted 17 days. Rats were distributed in 5 groups (3 groups with different cochleate concentrations, one without inoculation and another one that received the diluents of the product in test. Measurement of weight increase, food and water consumption, as well as the anatomopathologic studies in the two times of sacrifice, at 12 and 17 days were performed. Main histopathological studies were carried out in brain and nasal nostrils in three levels of their extension (anterior, medium and posterior areas). In addition, immunological assays such as the determination of IgG in serum, saliva and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were carried out. Results showed a sustained weight increase. There were no clinical alterations during water and food consumption, while the existence of discreet acute inflammatory changes was found by anatomopathological studies, which were directly related to the increase of the product concentration. The presence of IgG antibodies in saliva and in sera of the rats inoculated with the cochleates showed significant differences (P <0.05) compared to the non inoculated control group and to the animals inoculated with the diluent. CSF studies resulted negative regarding the presence of specific IgG antibodies. The existence of a direct relation among the concentrations of the product in test and the inflammatory processes in the medium and posterior levels of the nasal nostril was proven, therefore it is considered that cochleates applied by this route and in the concentrations used are innocuous and immunogenic.

The present paper evaluates the toxicity by single dose of the diphtheria-tetanus vaccine (VA-DIFTET®) in Sprague Dawley rats. Its administration was carried out by intramuscular route because this is the one proposed for use in humans. 0.3 mL of the vaccine or its components was administered to a total of 20 animals per group (10 per each sex). These animals were daily observed and, water and food intake was measured on alternate days determining their body weight with week intervals. The anatomopathological analysis of animals was included at the end of the study. No animal died during the assay or clinical symptoms were observed either. No statistically significant differences (p>0,1) were detected regarding water-food intake and body weight. In the anatomopathological study, macrophagic granulomatous lesions were observed in the rats treated with the vaccine or placebo; this finding is characteristic of vaccines adjuvated with aluminum hydroxide. Results suggested that VA-DIFTET® is potentially innocuous when administering the single dose by intramuscular route. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The objective of this study was to detect the presence of acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), signal molecules of the quorum sensing system in biofilm formed by Hafnia alvei strains. It also evaluated the effect of synthetic quorum sensing inhibitors in biofilm formation. AHLs were assayed using well diffusion techniques, thin layer chromatography (TLC) and detection directly in biofilm with biomonitors. The extracts obtained from planktonic and sessile cell of H. alvei induced at least two of three monitor strains evaluated. The presence of AHLs with up to six carbon atoms was confirmed by TLC. Biofilm formation by H. alvei was inhibited by furanone, as demonstrated by 96-well assay of crystal violet in microtitre plates and by scanning electron microscopy. The H. alvei 071 hall mutant was deficient in biofilm formation. All these results showed that the quorum sensing system is probably involved in the regulation of biofilm formation by H. alvei.
