Modification of Surfaces for Promoting Cell Immobilization

  • Chapter
Biofilms — Science and Technology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 223))

Abstract

Biofilms serve beneficial purposes in the natural environment and in some modulated or engineered biological systems. For example, biofilms are responsible for the removal of dissolved and particulate contaminants in natural streams and in waste water treatment plants. Biofilms in natural water, called mats, frequently determine water quality by influencing dissolved oxygen content and by serving as a sink for toxic and/or hazardous materials. These mats may play a significant role in the cycling of chemical elements. Biofilm reactors are also used in some common fermentation processes, eg, the “quick” vinegar process (Characklis and Marshall, 1990).
