Current problem facing researchers globally is microplastics as well as toxic chemical
pollution of the ecosystem. Microplastics carry toxic chemicals in the ecosystem serving as a …

Bacteria of the genus Aeromonas display multicellular behaviors herein referred to as
“social life”. Since the 1990s, interest has grown in cell-to-cell communication through …

In this work, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of 304 stainless steel (SS) caused
by Bacillus cereus was investigated by electrochemical measurements and surface …

Microorganisms are able to colonise abiotic surfaces in marine waters, supporting
ecological and biogeochemical functions. In turn, environmental factors may determine the …

The characteristics of biofilm polymers formed on stone surfaces in Lake Biwa and ion
adsorption and desorption to and from these biofilms were investigated. The results …

AISI 304 stainless steel specimens were exposed in-situ to fresh dam-water for nearly
2years. Open circuit potential (OCP) of the specimens becomes remarkably ennobled after …

The degradation of detrital organic matter and assimilation of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and
phosphorus (P) by heterotrophic microbial communities is mediated by enzymes released …

Microbial biofilms are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems. Inside the biofilm is the nutrient‐rich
microenvironment promoted by the accumulation of the nutrient ions such as NH 4+ and NO …

Biofilm polymers contain both electrically positively and negatively charged sites. These
charged sites enable the biofilm to trap and retain ions leading to an important role of biofilm …

One of the aquatic ecosystems that are very susceptible to contamination is the reservoir
ecosystem. Reservoirs have different characteristics from other water bodies because they …
