Adsorbent surfaces in natural and engineered systems are frequently modifies by bacterial attachment, growth of a biofilm, and bacterial production of extracellular polymer. Attached cells or sorbed… (More)
The interfacial interactions of a toxic trace metal, Pb, with a surface modified by a marine film-forming bacterium, Psedomonas atlantica, were predicted by a structured biofilm model used in… (More)
In 1995 and 1996, the Idaho Transportation Department (lTD) conducted a series of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys as a nondestructive testing (NDT) method to evaluate the thickness of asphalt… (More)
A bioreactor apparatus is described for studying bacterial attachment. A cyclic, on-off, flow regime was imposed within the apparatus. Model calculations illustrate the utility of this flow pattern… (More)
