sidoskantoja
Sidoskantoja is a Finnish term used in microbiology and biotechnology to describe strains of organisms that exhibit adhesion or binding to surfaces, other organisms, or substrates. The word combines sidos (binding, adhesion) and kanta (strain), and it is employed to refer to strains with notable surface attachment properties.
In microbiology, sidoskantoja can include bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms capable of attaching to abiotic surfaces
Applications of adhesion-capable strains span several fields. In bioremediation and wastewater treatment, binding properties can help
Research focuses on identifying adhesion mechanisms, engineering surface proteins, and developing strategies to control adhesion through
Limitations and challenges include environmental variability, competition with other microorganisms, and biosafety and regulatory considerations for
