Imaging of biofilm systems is a prerequisite for a better understanding of both structure and
its function. The review aims to critically discuss the use of optical coherence tomography …

Scientific imaging represents an important and accepted research tool for the analysis and
understanding of complex natural systems. Apart from traditional microscopic techniques …

The six years that have passed since the publication of the first edition have brought

Feed spacers are important for the impact of biofouling on the performance of spiral-wound
reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane systems. The objective of this study …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was successfully applied to visualize the mesoscale
structure of three different heterotrophic biofilms. For this purpose, biofilm volumes of 4× 4× …

The cohesive strength of microbial biofilms cultivated on a rotating disc has been measured
using fluid dynamic gauging (FDG). The thickness of heterotrophic mixed culture biofilms …

A two-dimensional mathematical model coupling fluid dynamics, salt and substrate transport
and biofilm development in time was used to investigate the effects of cross-flow velocity and …

Biofilms occur in natural and engineered water systems. In technical processes, biofouling
lowers the water quality and increases the frictional resistance in tubes. In wastewater …

Biofilm activities and their interactions with physical, chemical and biological processes are
of great importance for a variety of ecosystem functions, impacting hydrogeomorphology …
