  2. Biofilm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilm

    Biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa, along with other bacteria, is found in 90% of chronic wound infections, which leads to poor healing and high cost of treatment estimated at more than US$25 billion every year in the United States. [113]

  3. Biofilm prevention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilm_prevention

    Biofilms form as a way of survival for bacteria in aqueous situations. Ozone targets extracellular polysaccharides, a group of bacterial colonies on a surface, and cleaves them. The ozone cuts through the skeleton of the biofilm at a rapid pace thus dissolving it back to harmless microscopic fragments.

  4. Application of biofilms in industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_of_biofilms_in...

    Biofilms can consist of a multitude of bacteria, fungi, and algae which are able to absorb, immobilize, and degrade many common pollutants found in wastewater.By harnessing a natural phenomenon, biofilm-mediated remediation is an environmentally friendly method for environmental cleanup. [3]

  5. Phage therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_therapy

    The different steps at which phages may disrupt biofilm formation. The biofilm surrounding the bacteria would inhibit the ability of antibiotics to reach bacteria, but may have less impact on the phages. Phage therapy is being used to great effect in the treatment of biofilm infections, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.

  6. Extracellular polymeric substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_polymeric...

    Bacterial extracellular polymeric substances can aid in bioremediation of heavy metals as they have the capacity to adsorb metal cations, among other dissolved substances. [61] This can be useful in the treatment of wastewater systems, as biofilms are able to bind to and remove metals such as copper, lead, nickel, and cadmium. [61]

  7. Biofilter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilter

    The air flows through a packed bed and the pollutant transfers into a thin biofilm on the surface of the packing material. Microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi are immobilized in the biofilm and degrade the pollutant. Trickling filters and bioscrubbers rely on a biofilm and the bacterial action in their recirculating waters.

  8. Dental plaque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_plaque

    The bacterial equilibrium position varies at different stages of formation. Below is a summary of the bacteria that may be present during the phases of plaque maturation: Early biofilm: primarily Gram-positive cocci; Older biofilm (3–4 days): increased numbers of filaments and fusiforms

  9. Moving bed biofilm reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Bed_Biofilm_Reactor

    K1 MBBR carrier with biofilm. Moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) is a type of wastewater treatment process that was first invented by Professor Hallvard Ødegaard at Norwegian University of Science and Technology in the late 1980s. [1] The process takes place in an aeration tank with plastic carriers that a biofilm can grow on.
