PhD ceremony: Mr. A.L.J. Olsson, 14.30 uur, Aula Academiegebouw, Broerstraat 5, Groningen
Dissertation: Acoustic sensing of the bacterium-substratum interface
Promotor(s): prof. H.J. Busscher, prof. H.C. van der Mei
Faculty: Medical Sciences
This thesis investigates the potential use of an acoustic sensing technique called Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) for non-invasive and non-destructive study of microorganisms’ adhesive bond to surfaces. We have shown that QCM indeed can be used to study bacterial adhesion, or more specifically, that the QCM can be used to study the stiffness of the adhesive bond.
