Mitigation of biofouling by reducing biofilm formation and extracellular polymeric substances

Biofouling is a process of surface colonization by microorganisms via cell adhesion and production of Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS). It generally leads to severe problems in membrane bioreactor systems. This study addressed the feasibility of Piper betle Extract (PBE) as anti-biofouling a...
