• Healthcare-associated infections, medical devices and biofilms: risk, tolerance and control. (2015, background): “One of the intracellular mechanisms responsible for dispersal within a biofilm is the secondary messenger molecule cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) (Karatan & Watnick, 2009).”

• Biofilm Dispersal: Mechanisms, Clinical Implications, and Potential Therapeutic Uses (2010, background): “Factors such as nutrient levels, oxygen tension, pH, and temperature have been shown to induce dispersal of biofilms produced by a variety of species (Karatan and Watnick, 2009).”

• The effects of ferulic and salicylic acids on Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas fluorescens single- and dual-species biofilms (2014, background): “This occurs because bacteria overcome the long-range repulsive forces that facilitate close approach to the surfaces, enabling accelerated surface adhesion (Karatan and Watnick, 2009).”
• The Paradox of Mixed-Species Biofilms in the Context of Food Safety (2014, background): “Dispersal of monospecies biofilms can be governed by several cues such as the species present in biofilms, nutrient fluctuations, changes in oxygen levels, c-di-GMP, cAMP, degradation of the biofilms matrix, induction of motility, nitric acid, and increase in toxic products or metabolites and/or sur”
