Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilms: an emergent form of bacterial life.
Hans-Curt Flemming,Jost Wingender,Ulrich Szewzyk,Peter D. Steinberg,Scott A. Rice,Staffan Kjelleberg +5 more
TL;DR: The fundamental role of the biofilm matrix is considered, describing how the characteristic features of biofilms — such as social cooperation, resource capture and enhanced survival of exposure to antimicrobials — all rely on the structural and functional properties of the matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiological safety of drinking water.
TL;DR: To perform a risk analysis for the pathogens in drinking water, it is necessary to understand the ecology of these organisms, including newly-recognized pathogens from fecal sources and pathogens that are able to grow in water distribution systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity in biofilms.
TL;DR: The expanding field of molecular techniques not only allows more and more detailed documentation of the spatial distribution of species, but also of functional activities of single cells in their biofilm environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial dehalorespiration with chlorinated benzenes
TL;DR: According to their 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain CBDB1, Dehalococcoides ethenogenes and several uncultivated bacteria form a new bacterial cluster, of which strain CB DB1 is the first, so far, to thrive on a purely synthetic medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of a bioreactor with submerged membranes for aerobic treatment of municipal waste water.
TL;DR: Treatment performance was very stable and on a high level and the COD was reduced by 95%.
