Over the last decade, approaches to the development of surfaces that perturb settlement
and/or adhesion by barnacles have diversified substantially. Although, previously, coatings …

Biofilms affect the lives of all of us, growing as they do for example on our teeth (as plaque),
on catheters and medical implants in our bodies, on our boats and ships, in food processing …

The attachment of microbial biomass on solid surfaces is a universal phenomenon that
occurs in natural and engineering systems and is responsible for various types of biofouling …

In the present investigation, biocorrosion inhibition efficiency of Syzygium aromaticum
(clove) aqueous extract on carbon steel in presence of four corrosion causing bacterial …

The use of enzymes has a high potential in the pulp and paper industry to improve the
economics of the paper production process and to achieve, at the same time, a reduced …

This review evaluates the analytical methods used for detecting microbiologically influenced
corrosion (MIC), which is an aggressive microbiota-facilitated degradation of engineering …

Four strains of filamentous bacteria were isolated from slimes collected in different paper mill
factories. Morphological and physiological characterization of the isolates indicated an …

Microbicides (biocides) play an important role in the prevention and treatment of infections.
While there is currently little evidence for in-use treatment failures attributable to acquired …

In the environment, many microorganisms coexist in communities competing for resources,
and they are often associated as biofilms. The investigation of bacterial ecology and …

Mechanisms for the undesired persistence of Bacillus species in paper machine slimes were
investigated. Biofilm formation was measured for industrial Bacillus isolates under paper …
