During the last decades, the rate of multiresistant microbes against antibiotics increased dramatically. Moreover, biofilm-based contaminations complicate cleaning procedures and require cost-intensive methods in industrial processes. In this context, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is one of those bacteria that forms biofilms at liquid/air interfaces as a protective shell, e.g. against antibiotics. To investigate the influence of nanostructured silver layers as antibacterial coatings on the initial bacterial growth, we employed micro-focused Grazing incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS) as a very surface-sensitive X-ray-based method providing structural information about electron density distributions. In our experiments we characterized PA biofilms, grown under different deposition conditions at the P03 beamline at Petra III / DESY.

Keywords: X-ray Scattering; surface-sensitive; biofilm; nanostructured silver layers; deposition conditions
