Effect of surface roughness, biofilm coverage and biofilm structure on the electrochemical efficiency of microbial cathodes [PDF]
Biofilms of Geobacter sulfurreducens were formed under chronoamperometry at −0.5 V and −0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl on stainless steel cathodes and tested for fumarate reduction.

The genus Mycobacterium includes human pathogens (Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae) and environmental organisms known as non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that, when associated with biomaterials and chronic disease, can cause human infections. A common pathogenic factor of mycobacteria is the formation of biofilms. Various molecules

Biofilm dynamics characterization using a novel DO-MEA sensor: mass transport and biokinetics [PDF]
Biodegradation process modeling is an essential tool for the optimization of biotechnologies related to gaseous pollutant treatment. In these technologies, the predominant role of biofilm, particularly under conditions of no mass transfer limitations ...

Autogenic versus environmental control during development of river biofilm [PDF]
In the natural environment, microbial community structure of river biofilm is controlled by biotic and abiotic factors. This study explored the capacity to manipulate the structure of microbial communities by modifying environmental conditions during the
