Insulin Regulation of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Abiotic Biofilm Formation: Effect of Nutrients and Growth Conditions
<i>Escherichia coli</i> plays an important role in biofilm formation across a wide array of disease and ecological settings. Insulin can function as an adjuvant in the regulation of biofilm levels. The modulation of insulin-regulated biofilm formation by environmental conditions has not...

<i>Escherichia coli</i> plays an important role in biofilm formation across a wide array of disease and ecological settings. Insulin can function as an adjuvant in the regulation of biofilm levels. The modulation of insulin-regulated biofilm formation by environmental conditions has not been previously described. In the present study, the effects that various environmental growth conditions and nutrients have on insulin-modulated levels of biofilm production were measured. Micropipette tips were incubated with <i>E. coli</i> ATCC<sup>®</sup> 25922™ in a Mueller Hinton broth (MH), or a yeast nitrogen base with 1% peptone (YNBP), which was supplemented with glucose, lactose, galactose and/or insulin (Humulin<sup>®</sup>-R).
