Biofouling invasions

, 2010
This chapter reviews the historical and continuing role of biofouling in marine species invasions through the translocation of marine species between disparate bioregions and/or facilitation of species spread in a recipient region. Factors that influence

Implantable electrochemical sensors for continuous blood monitoring

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Implantable electrochemical sensors enable direct, in situ, and continuous blood monitoring, shifting diagnosis from population‐based averages to dynamic, individualized analysis. This review systematically examines the influence of the unique blood properties on sensor design.

Multi‐omics biomarkers for intestinal infection and inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease: Current evidence, translational challenges, and diagnostic opportunities

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Prospective multi‐site cohorts, multi‐omics profiling, and computational analysis may help identify biomarker patterns across clinical settings in IBD and superimposed infections. With further mechanistic and clinical validation, these signals could support the development of practical multi‐analyte tools for more precise diagnosis and management ...

Covalent functionalization of silicon nitride surfaces for anti-biofouling and bioselective capture

, 2011
Microsieves – microengineered membranes – have been introduced in microfiltration technology as a new generation of inorganic membranes. The thin membranes are made of silicon nitride (SixN4), which gives the membranes outstanding features, such as ...

Bioelectrochemical single reactor for reductive and oxidative removal of trichloroethylene from contaminated groundwater

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene (TCE) are persistent groundwater contaminants due to improper disposal and low biodegradability. This work presents an innovative bioelectrochemical system for the integrated reductive/oxidative removal of TCE from contaminated water, implemented in a single tubular ...

Preventing biofouling in microalgal photobioreactors

Bioresource Technology
Photobioreactors (PBRs) are used to grow the light-requiring microalgae in diverse commercial processes. Often, they are operated as continuous culture over months period. However, with time, biofouling layer develops on the inner surfaces of their walls.

Biofouling control in a membrane filtration system by a newly isolated novel quorum quenching bacterium, Bacillus methylotrophicus sp WY

, 2016
During membrane processes of wastewater treatment, biofouling is a critical issue affecting membrane performance. Interspecies quorum quenching (QQ) by bacterial cells has been reported as a novel approach for mitigating the biofouling via restraining ...

Effect of ammonium concentration on methane oxidation and CO2 removal in an anaerobic biotrickling filter treating synthetic landfill gas and leachate

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Landfill gas (LFG) and leachate are commonly treated separately through energy‐intensive processes. This study evaluated the integration of both streams in an anaerobic biotrickling filter (BTF) to achieve simultaneous methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) removal coupled with ammonium (NH4+) transformation, and how the microbial ...
