The dodecyl substituted ionic liquid [C-12-(t)OHim][OMs] significantly prevented the biofilm formation of S. epidermidis at 100 mu M concentration as well as showed noteworthy antimicrobial activity. We conclude that the ionic liquids (ILs) bearing chain lengths lower than the dodecyl length were found to be less effective against most of the tested pathogenic microorganisms.</p>1 aNavale, Govinda, R.1 aDharne, Mahesh, S.1 aShinde, Sandip, S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/antibiofilm-activity-tert-buoh-functionalized-ionic-liquids-methylsulfonate-counteranions-0
