Properly designed biological filters or infiltration systems have the capacity to significantly
reduce effluent concentrations of pathogenic microorganisms in wastewater. The retention …

A substantial research effort has been aimed at elucidating the role of various physical,
chemical and biological factors on microbial transport and removal in natural subsurface …

Metal oxides can increase the adhesion of negatively-charged bacteria to surfaces primarily
due to their positive charge. However, the hydrophobicity of a metal-oxide surface can also …

Reactions at ionizable functional groups in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from
Bacillus subtilis are found to affect aqueous phase conformation and adsorption to mineral …

Written by leading soil and ground-water remediation scientists, Handbook of
Bioremediation presents information regarding the processes, application, and limitations of …

The deposition of eight bacterial strains on Teflon and glass in aqueous media with ionic
strengths varying between 0.0001 and 1 M was measured and interpreted. Two types of …

Microorganisms migrating into and through soil from sources on the land surface may cause
a serious threat to both ground and surface waters. It has been estimated that …

The reversibility and mechanisms of adhesion of various pseudomonads and coryneform
bacteria having different hydrophobicities and negative cell surface charges on negatively …

Microorganisms have played a critical role in geological processes and in the formation of
soils throughout the geological times. It is hypothesized that biological activity can also affect …

Understanding the interaction between bacterial cells and solid surfaces is essential to our
attempts to quantify and predict the transport of microbes in groundwater aquifers, whether …
