<P/><P>We have developed a colloidal synthesis of nearly monodisperse nanocrystals of pure Cs<SUB>4</SUB>PbX<SUB>6</SUB> (X = Cl, Br, I) and their mixed halide compositions with sizes ranging from 9 to 37 nm. The optical absorption spectra of these nanocrystals display a sharp, high energy peak due to transitions between states localized in individual PbX<SUB>6</SUB><SUP>4–</SUP> octahedra. These spectral features are insensitive to the size of the particles and in agreement with the features of the corresponding bulk materials. Samples with mixed halide composition exhibit absorption bands that are intermediate in spectral position between those of the pure halide compounds. Furthermore, the absorption bands of intermediate compositions broaden due to the different possible combinations of halide coordination around the Pb<SUP>2+</SUP> ions. Both observations are supportive of the fact that the [PbX<SUB>6</SUB>]<SUP>4–</SUP> octahedra are electronically decoupled in these systems. Because of the large band gap of Cs<SUB>4</SUB>PbX<SUB>6</SUB> (>3.2 eV), no excitonic emission in the visible range was observed. The Cs<SUB>4</SUB>PbBr<SUB>6</SUB> nanocrystals can be converted into green fluorescent CsPbBr<SUB>3</SUB> nanocrystals by their reaction with an excess of PbBr<SUB>2</SUB> with preservation of size and size distributions. The insertion of PbX<SUB>2</SUB> into Cs<SUB>4</SUB>PbX<SUB>6</SUB> provides a means of accessing CsPbX<SUB>3</SUB> nanocrystals in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and compositions, an important aspect for the development of precisely tuned perovskite nanocrystal inks.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>In this work, the effect of environmental factors on <I>Staphylococcus aureus</I> (ATCC 13150) biofilm formation in tryptic soy broth was investigated under different ranges of pH (3.0–9.5), ethanol concentration (EtOH 0.0–20.0%), and a<SUB>w</SUB> (NaCl, 0.866–0.992). Biofilm formation was quantified using the crystal violet staining method and optical density (OD: 590 nm) measurements. Biofilm formation was significantly stronger at pH and a<SUB>w</SUB> close to <I>S. aureus</I> optimal growth conditions, while it was high at EtOH around 2.5–3.5%. Data sets from the difference between the OD measurements of the test and control (ΔOD) were fitted to the cardinal parameter model (CPM) and cardinal parameter model with inflection (CPMI) to describe the effect of the environmental factors. The models showed good quality of fit for the experimental data in terms of calculated RMSE, with the latter ranging from 0.276 to 0.455. CPM gave a good quality of fit compared to CPMI for the environmental factors tested. Optimal pH was close to neutral (6.76–6.81) and biofilm formation was possible till pH = 3.81–3.78 for CPM and CPMI, respectively. Optimum EtOH and a<SUB>w</SUB> conditions for biofilm formation were in the range of 1.99–2.75 and 0.98–0.97, respectively. Predicted OD values observed using strain 13150 were very closely correlated to the OD values predicted with strain 12600 with R<SUP>2</SUP> of 0.978, 0.991, and 0.947 for pH, EtOH, and a<SUB>w</SUB>, respectively. The cultivable bacterial cells within the biofilm were enumerated using standard plate counting and a linear model was applied to correlate the attached biofilm cells to ΔOD of biofilm formation. It was found that the biofilm formation correlated with <I>S. aureus</I> population growth. At 2.5–3.5% of EtOH the maximum population density was lower than that observed at 0.0% of EtOH. As 2.5–3.5% of EtOH initiated a stronger biofilm formation, biofilm formation seems to be induced by ethanol stress. The development of cardinal parameter models to describe the effect environmental factors of importance to biofilm formation, offers a promising predictive microbiology approach to decrypting the <I>S. aureus</I> population growth and survival ability on food processing surfaces.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Biofilm formation was significantly stronger at pH and aw close <I>S. aureus</I> growth optimal conditions. </LI> <LI> Biofilm formation was significantly high at ethanol concentration around 2.5–3.5%. </LI> <LI> CPM showed a better quality of fit compare to CPMI whatever the environmental factors. </LI> <LI> High extracellular matrix production depend on stress induced by ethanol at non-lethal concentrations. </LI> </UL> </P>
