News & notes: detection of microorganisms with overall cellulolytic activity.

abstract：:The ability of non-tuberculous mycobacteria to form biofilms may allow for their increased resistance to currently used biocides in medical and industrial settings. This study examines the biofilm growth of Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium marinum, using the MBEC trade mark assay system, and compares the susc...
