Over the last two decades, scientific communities have been more interested in turning
organic waste materials into bioenergy. Microbial fuel cells (MFC) can degrade organic …

The aim of this review was to present an overview of laboratory root canal biofilm model
systems described in the endodontic literature and to critically appraise the various factors …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa synthesizes an exopolysaccharide called alginate in response to
environmental conditions. Alginate serves to protect the bacteria from adversity in its …

ABSTRACT A combination of experimental and theoretical approaches was used to
investigate the role of nutrient starvation as a potential trigger for biofilm detachment …

Bacterial biofilms remain a persistent threat to human healthcare due to their role in the
development of antimicrobial resistance. To combat multi-drug resistant pathogens, it is …

A substantial research effort has been aimed at elucidating the role of various physical,
chemical and biological factors on microbial transport and removal in natural subsurface …

Diffusion of the electron acceptor is the rate controlling step in virtually all biofilm reactors
employed for aerobic wastewater treatment. The membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) …

Microbes often live in dense communities called biofilms, where competition between strains
and species is fundamental to both evolution and community function. Although biofilms are …

The influence of process conditions (substrate loading rate and detachment force) on the
structure of biofilms grown on basalt particles in a Biofilm Airlift Suspension (BAS) reactor …

Drinking water quality deteriorates during transportation through drinking water distribution
systems (DWDS). Microbial activity and ecology, particularly within biofilms that occur on the …
