                            <p>In this work, the prevention and removal of biofilmformations of B. cereus vegetative cells and spore formations by citricacid (2%) and chlorine (200 ppm) treatments on microtitration plates wereinvestigated. The biofilms were produced in the presence of glucose and milk(TSBG and TSBM) for 24-72 hours. B. cereusbiofilms, formed by vegetative cells in TSBG and TSBMwere inhibited by citric acid treatments by up to 59% and removed about 38-63%,respectively. However, biofilms of B. cereus spores were prevented about56% and removed by 40-56%. It was shown that citric acid treatment (2%) couldbe as effective as chlorine treatment for biofilms of B. cereusvegetative cells and spores.</p></trans-abstract>
