Biofilm formation on metal surfaces
… of neutral carbohydrates present in bacterial exopolymers and show that the neutral sugar composition of free and surface-associated BPS is not identical for a given bacterial culture. The biofilm-bound BPS are believed not to playa major role in corrosion of mild steel but to provide …

Role of Exopolymeric Substances in Biofilm Formation on Dairy Separation Membranes
<p>In the concentration of cheese whey by membrane filtration processes, fouling is a major limiting factor that leads to flux decline and affects product quality. The growth of biofilms on membranes contributes to biofouling. Biofilms are very difficult to eliminate, and will serve as the seed for …
