Influence of pH over nitrifying biofilm activity in submerged biofilters
TL;DR: The influence of pH over nitrification in submerged biofilters has been studied through the observation of three pH effects over the nitrifying biofilm: activation-deactivation, substrate limitation, and free ammonia inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of diffusive and convective substrate transport on biofilm structure formation: A two-dimensional modeling study
TL;DR: A two-dimensional model for quantitative evaluation of the effect of convective and diffusive substrate transport on biofilm heterogeneity was developed and showed that biofilm structures with highly irregular surface develop in the mass transfer-limited regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilm formation in the industry: A review
TL;DR: The purpose of biofilm is to protect the microbes from hostile environments or to act as a trap for nutrient acquisition, which causes problems in many branches of industry, such as in industrial water systems and the medical and process industries.

Colorimetric Method for Determination of Sugars and Related Substances
TL;DR: In this article, a method was developed to determine submicro amounts of sugars and related substances using a phenol-sulfuric acid reaction, which is useful for the determination of the composition of polysaccharides and their methyl derivatives.

Determination of bacterial number and biomass in the marine environment.
TL;DR: The biomass of gram-negative (LPS containing) bacteria was shown to be related to the LPS content of the samples, and a factor of 6.35 was determined for converting LPS to bacterial carbon.
