Due to the continuous rise in biofilm‐related infections, biofilms seriously threaten human
health. The formation of biofilms makes conventional antibiotics ineffective and dampens …

Streams and rivers form dense networks, shape the Earth's surface and, in their sediments,
provide an immensely large surface area for microbial growth. Biofilms dominate microbial …

Imaging of biofilm systems is a prerequisite for a better understanding of both structure and

The scientific community has recognized that almost 99% of the microbial life on earth is
represented by biofilms. Considering the impacts of their sessile lifestyle on both natural and …

Tidal flow constructed wetlands (TFCWs) offer a promising method to treat domestic
wastewater in rural areas. However, TFCWs are usually severely restricted by denitrification …

The advantage of using non-invasive imaging such as optical coherence tomography (OCT)
to asses material properties from deformed biofilm geometries can be compromised by the …

Marine biofouling is an undeniable challenge for aquatic systems since it is responsible for
several environmental and ecological problems and economic losses. Several strategies …
