Kinetics of yeast detachment from controlled stainless steel surfaces
Abstract
Using a radial flow chamber, we study Saccharomyces cerevisiae kinetics of detachment from stainless steel substrates. Samples of similar surface chemistry, but with different surface topologies are compared: mirror polished and electro-chemically etched. Different grain sizes (20, 40 and 100 microm) and different etching depths (100-650 nm) are tested. Cells are removed from the substrate according to a first-order kinetics defining two …
