Over the past decades, considerable efforts have been made to develop hierarchically
porous electrodes for the high surface area, the fast velocity of fuels/products to/away from …

Experimental measurements of effective diffusive permeabilities and effective diffusion
coefficients in biofilms are reviewed. Effective diffusive permeabilities, the parameter …

The theory, design, construction, and operation of microbial fuel cells Microbial fuel cells
(MFCs), devices in which bacteria create electrical power by oxidizing simple compounds …

Understanding the emergence of the complex organization of biofilms from the interactions
of its parts, individual cells and their environment, is the aim of the individual-based …

About 10 years ago a set of mass balance equations for mathematical modeling of mixed‐
culture biofilms (MCBs) was presented. That model was able to describe the progression of …

Wastewater treatment processes are inherently dynamic because of the large variations in
the influent wastewater flow rate, concentration and composition. Moreover, these variations …

Detachment is one of the major processes determining the physical structure and microbial
functionalities of biofilms. To predict detachment, it is necessary to take the mechanical …

The spatial distributions of biofilm properties have been investigated. Heterotrophic biofilms
were cultured by using rotating drum biofilm reactors which were fed to a synthetic …

Cultivation processes involving filamentous fungi have been optimised for decades to obtain
high product yields. Several bulk chemicals like citric acid and penicillin are produced this …

The theoretical basis and quantitative evaluation of a new approach for modeling biofilm
growth are presented here. Soluble components (eg, substrates) are represented in a …
