Definition, basics (components and formation process). A biofilm forms when one or several bacterial cells suspended in the water attach to a surface. At this point, the cell either detaches again ...

Biofilms, which are widely detected in water transport infrastructures such as water distribution systems and premise plumbing, pose significant challenges including microbial-induced corrosion and ...

When seawater penetrates concrete in road tunnels, a biofilm is formed that breaks down the concrete. This can lead to high ...

Once the biofilm-eradication process is complete, the robot gets removed from the body via a laparoscopically-inserted magnet. In lab tests performed on an extracted pig digestive system, the ...

Bacterial communities form when free swimming bacteria reversibly attach to a surface. At high cell densities, many species trigger processes involved in biofilm formation, including the production of ...

Returned to Earth 2022. Biofilm growth has been observed in Soviet/Russian (Salyuts and Mir), American (Skylab), and International (ISS) Space Stations, sometimes jeopardizing key equipment like ...

It uses a combination of warm water and tiny soluble and antimicrobial powder. Airflow Max will remove 100% of the biofilm from the teeth and all of the surrounding tissues, including underneath ...
