Microbial biofilms are common on abiotic and biotic surfaces, especially in rivers, which
drive crucial ecosystem processes. The microorganisms of biofilms are surrounded by a self …

Wastewater treatment is an essential process for public health and a sustainable ecosystem.
Inadequate wastewater treatment can lead to the release of organic and inorganic pollutants …

Bacteriophages (simply referred to as Phages) are a class of viruses with the ability to infect
and kill prokaryotic cells (bacteria), but are unable to infect mammalian cells. This unique …

Since the realization that global sustainability depends on renewable sources of materials
and energy, there has been an ever-increasing need to develop bio-based polymers that …

Cellulose triacetate (CTA) ultrafiltration membranes were prepared via phase inversion
technique using hydrophilic TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNs) as modifying …
