UV light irradiation is being increasingly applied as a primary process for water disinfection, effectively used for inactivation of suspended (planktonic) cells. In this study, the use of UV irradiation was evaluated as a pretreatment strategy to control biofouling. The objective of this research was to elucidate the relative effectiveness of various targeted UV wavelengths and a polychromatic spectrum on bacterial inactivation and biofilm control. In a model system using Pseudomonas…

Biofilm control in water by a UV-based advanced oxidation process
TLDR
The ratio of surviving bacterial concentration post-treatment to residual H2O2 concentration played an important role in biofilm prevention and bacterial regrowth, indicating a possible advantage of AOP.
Inactivation of biofilm-bound Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria using UVC light emitting diodes (UVC LEDs).
Multiwell plates for obtaining a rapid microbial dose-response curve in UV-LED systems.
Comparison of UV-Induced Inactivation and RNA Damage in MS2 Phage across the Germicidal UV Spectrum
TLDR
It is demonstrated that genomic damage is the dominant cause of MS2 inactivation from exposure to germicidal UV irradiation, compared with adenovirus, for which MS2 is used as a viral surrogate for validating polychromatic UV reactors.
Biofilm growth under continuous UVC irradiation: Quantitative effects of growth conditions and growth time on intensity response parameters.
Wavelength dependent UV inactivation and DNA damage of adenovirus as measured by cell culture infectivity and long range quantitative PCR.
TLDR
This research analyzes the wavelength-specific effects of UV light on adenovirus type 2 by analyzing in parallel the reduction in viral infectivity and damage to the viral genome, which has significant implications for the water treatment industry with regard to polychromatic inactivation of viruses and the development of novel wavelength- specific UV disinfection technologies.

Ultraviolet radiation (UV-C): a potential tool for the control of biofouling on marine optical instruments
TLDR
Results reveal that UV-C radiation can be used as a potential biofouling control tool for optical instruments and was effective even in reducing the population of microfoulers from already developed biofilms.

TLDR
Research has shown that pathogenic E. coli O175:H7 was able to repair the damage caused by low-pressure UV, but no repair was detected following exposure to UV from medium-pressure lamps, so a broad, "polychromatic" spectrum of UV wavelengths is necessary to ensure permanent inactivation.

TLDR
There was no unique advantage of MP UV over low pressure (LP) UV except for the simultaneous delivery of a wide range of germicidal wavelengths in Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in water.
