Biofilm models for the food industry: hot spots for plasmid transfer?
This study investigated biomass and plasmid transfer in dual‐species (Pseudomonas putida and Escherichia coli) biofilm models relevant to the food industry. Two different configurations (flow‐through and drip‐flow) and two different inoculation procedures (donor–recipient and recipient–donor) were tested. The drip‐flow configuration integrated stainless steel coupons in the setup while the flow‐through configuration included a glass flow cell and silicone tubing. The highest biomass density [10 log (cells cm‐²)] was obtained in the silicone tubing when first the recipient strain was inoculated. High plasmi...

Communication and Computing Technology in Biocontainment Laboratories Using the NEIDL as a Model
This article discusses the implementation of secure wireless networks and private cloud computing to promote operational efficiency, biosecurity and biosafety with additional energy saving advantages. The utilization of a dedicated data center, virtualized servers, virtualized desktop integration, multi‐channel secure wireless networks, and a NEIDL‐dedicated voice‐over‐Internet‐Protocol (VoIP) network are all discussed.
