In situ monitoring of Lentilactobacillus parabuchneri biofilm formation via real-time infrared spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Foodborne pathogenic microorganisms form biofilms at abiotic surfaces, which is a particular challenge in food processing industries. The complexity of biofilm formation requires a fundamental understanding on the involved molecular mechanisms, which may then lead to efficient prevention strategies. In the present study, biogenic amine producing bacteria, i.e., Lentilactobacillus parabuchneri DSM 5987 strain isolated from cheese were studied in respect with biofilm formation, which is of substantial relevance given their contribution to the presence of histamine in dairy products. While scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate biofilm adhesion at stainless steel surfaces, in situ infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy (IR-ATR) using a custom flow-through assembly was
