Our findings reveal a dual role of NO compounds in biofilm control. Molsidomine, MAHMA NONOate, and diethylamine NONOate are good candidates for either preventing biofilm formation or dispersing biofilm, especially when used in conjunction with disinfectants. Nitric oxide compounds have the potential to be developed into a toolkit for pro-active practices for good agricultural practices (GAPs), hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP), and cleaning-in-place (CIP) protocols in industrial settings where washing is routinely applied. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
