Biofilm and granular sludge processes are promising biotechnology for wastewater
treatment. The formation, structure and metabolism of immobilized microbial community are …

Biofilm composition and activity are two important parameters for the successful operation
and control of fixed film processes in water and wastewater treatment. Widely used …

Laboratory-scale porous media biofilm reactors were used to evaluate the effect of biofilm
accumulation, mea-sured as the average thickness along a 50-mm flow path, on media …

The influences of reactor conditions (substrate loading rate and shear) and microbial
characteristics (yield and growth rate) on the structure of bioflims is discussed. Based on …

ABSTRACT A combination of experimental and theoretical approaches was used to
investigate the role of nutrient starvation as a potential trigger for biofilm detachment …

Microbes often live in dense communities called biofilms, where competition between strains
and species is fundamental to both evolution and community function. Although biofilms are …

Biofilter is one of the most important separation processes that can be employed to remove
organic pollutants from air, water, and wastewater. Even though, it has been used over a …

The influence of process conditions (substrate loading rate and detachment force) on the
structure of biofilms grown on basalt particles in a Biofilm Airlift Suspension (BAS) reactor …

This investigation focuses on the use of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation
(MICP) to set up subsurface hydraulic barriers to potentially increase storage security near …

Detachment from biofilms was evaluated using a mixed culture biofilm grown on primary
wastewater in a tube reactor. The growth of biofilms and the detachment of biomass from …
