Abstract
Water is used extensively for cooling purposes in a wide variety of industrial processes and a major problem in efficient operation is the presence of biofilms on the surface of equipment. On the other hand, in wastewater treatment, the development of a robust biofilm is essential for the effectiveness of the process.
