Biofilm-associated infections have emerged as a significant public health challenge due to
their persistent nature and increased resistance to conventional treatment methods. The …

Bacterial biofilm represents a multicellular community embedded within an extracellular
matrix attached to a surface. This lifestyle confers to bacterial cells protection against hostile …

Sulfidogenic and methanogenic processes are undesirable in sewer management, yet the
derived problems regarding organic losses are often neglected. Traditional chemical dosing …

It is well documented that after the water has been treated in the treatment plant, the quality
of drinking water is degraded during transport to consumers inside the drinking water …

Disinfectant decay by biofilms in distribution networks during stagnation can allow
opportunistic pathogens' transmission and thus compromise drinking water safety. Applying …

Bacterial resistance evolution necessitates the continuous adaptation of antimicrobial
agents. In this study, we systematically investigated the antibacterial and biofilm-inhibition …

The detection of N-hexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL), a crucial signal in Gram-
negative bacterial communication, is essential for addressing microbiologically influenced …

The 17β-estradiol (E2)-degrading bacterium Rhodococcus sp. RCBS9 previously showed
remarkable resistance to the combined stresses of low temperature and E2. In this study …

Electroactive bacteria play a crucial role in electrocatalytic oxidation and reduction reactions
within bioelectrochemical systems (BES). However, the influence of BES startup modes on …

Bacterial colonization onto interior pipe walls is ubiquitous in drinking water systems, with
the inevitable consequences on water quality safety. However, the mechanisms of how …
