TL;DR: A systematic literature review of existing research articles on the various advances made between 2005 and 2021 about biocarrier physical properties, and performances with specific focus on their contributions in biofilm formation, nutrients and organic matter removal is presented to establish their role as central elements inBiofilm formation.
Development of antifouling surfaces to reduce bacterial attachment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of engineered surface roughness on bacterial attachment, including arrays of holes and repeating lines/trenches, were formed from silicon wafers and then used as a template to imprint silicone-based polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).
Architectural differentiation reflectsbacterial community structure in stream biofilms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed bacterial community differentiation between the base and streamers of stream biofilms under various flow conditions using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and sequencing.

Biofilm Growth and Hydraulic Performance
TL;DR: Rheidol is a 56MW hydroelectric station operated by the Central Electricity Generating Board (of England) in mid Wales as discussed by the authors, which suffers biofouling and its attendant loss of hydraulic performance.

Intermolecular and surface forces
TL;DR: The forces between atoms and molecules are discussed in detail in this article, including the van der Waals forces between surfaces, and the forces between particles and surfaces, as well as their interactions with other forces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilms: Survival Mechanisms of Clinically Relevant Microorganisms
TL;DR: It is understood that biofilms are universal, occurring in aquatic and industrial water systems as well as a large number of environments and medical devices relevant for public health, and that treatments may be based on inhibition of genes involved in cell attachment and biofilm formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilm Formation as Microbial Development
TL;DR: The results reviewed in this article indicate that the formation of biofilms serves as a new model system for the study of microbial development.

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.
