Marine biofilms are ubiquitous in the marine environment. These complex microbial
communities rapidly respond to environmental changes and encompass hugely diverse …

The excessive consumption of fossil fuels causes massive emission of CO2, leading to
climate deterioration and environmental pollution. The development of substitutes and …

Fouling of maritime infrastructure is pervasive due to abundant biological and chemical
activity within the oceanic environment. Marine biofilms and their successional growths are …

Membrane biofouling is a challenge to be solved for the stable operation of the seawater
reverse osmosis (SWRO) membrane. This study explored the regulation mechanism of …

Bacteria play a crucial role in marine biogeochemistry by releasing, consuming and
transforming organic matter. Far from being isolated entities, bacteria are involved in …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have become a viable source of novel antibiotics that are
effective against human pathogenic bacteria. In this study, we construct a bank of culturable …

Microbial community structure is influenced by the environment and in turn exerts control on
many environmental parameters. We applied this concept in a bioreactor study to test …

Marine biofilms are a collective of microbes that can grow on many different surfaces
immersed in marine environments. Estimating the microbial richness and specificity of a …

Marine biofouling caused huge economic losses of maritime industries. We aim to develop
high-efficient, less-toxic, and cost-effective antifoulants to solve the problems of biofouling. In …

Biofilms are surface-attached multicellular communities that play critical roles in inducing
biofouling and biocorrosion in the marine environment. Given the serious economic losses …
