Microbial Biofilms and Biofilm Reactors
2018Scientists and engineers have realized the industrial and environmental significance of biofilm accumulation and activity. The ability to predict and control biofilm formation has led to less fouling and corrosion in industrial systems and a better understanding of biofilm importance in natural aquatic systems.

Biofouling, 2003
The extracellular matrix is a complex and extremely important component of all biofilms, providing architectural structure and mechanical stability to the attached population. The matrix is composed of cells, water and secreted/released extracellular macromolecules.

Biofouling, 1996
A mixed-culture biofilm (MCB) model is available which describes the progression of biofilm thickness and the spatial distribution and development in time of dissolved and paniculate components in the biofilm. The MCB model is able to predict the physico-chemical conditions at the interface between the biofilm and the solid surface, on which the ...

Enzyme Mimicry for Combating Bacteria and Biofilms.
Accounts of Chemical Research, 2018Bacterial infection continues to be a growing global health problem with the most widely accepted treatment paradigms restricted to antibiotics. However, antibiotics overuse and misuse have triggered increased multidrug resistance, frustrating the ...

This chapter on biofilm risks deals with biofilm formation of pathogenic microbes, sampling and detection methods, biofilm removal, and prevention of biofilm formation. Several common pathogens produce sticky and/or slimy structures in which the cells are embedded, that is, biofilms, on various surfaces in food processing.

Recently, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been considered as an attractive treatment option for biofilms ablation. However, even very efficient photosensitizers (PSs) still need high light doses and PS concentrations to eliminate biofilms ...

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2008
Biofilms are bacterial communities ubiquitous to moist environments. Biofilm formation is a factor in the development and persistence of infectious diseases. In clinical nephrology, biofilms influence the development of kidney stones and affect dialysis systems, including peritoneal and central venous catheters.
