Bacterial biofilms occur in many natural and industrial environments. Besides bacteria,
biofilms comprise over 70 wt% water. Water in biofilms occurs as bound-or free-water …

Imaging of biofilm systems is a prerequisite for a better understanding of both structure and
its function. The review aims to critically discuss the use of optical coherence tomography …

Biofilm-based algal cultivation has many advantages over the conventional suspended
growth methods and has received increased attention as a potential platform for algal …

Water that flows around a biofilm influences the transport of solutes into and out of the
biofilm and applies forces to the biofilm that can cause it to deform and detach. Engineering …

The occurrence of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) bacteria in drinking water may result in
significant underestimation of viable cell counts detected by culture-based method, thus …

This study investigates the functional correspondence between porescale hydrodynamics,
mass transfer, pore structure and biofilm morphology during progressive biofilm colonization …

Micro-scale flow distribution in spacer-filled flow channels of spiral-wound membrane
modules was determined with a particle image velocimetry system (PIV), aiming to elucidate …

<? xm-replace_text {Heading}?> Abstract Microbial bioaggregates and biofilms are hydrated
three-dimensional structures of cells and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) …

Aggregates consisting of bacterial cells, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and Fe
(III) minerals formed by Fe (II)-oxidizing bacteria are common at bulk or microscale chemical …

Biofilm activities and their interactions with physical, chemical and biological processes are
of great importance for a variety of ecosystem functions, impacting hydrogeomorphology …
