Funded Activity Summary
Development of novel environmentally benign technologies for the control of bacterial biofilms in industrial applications. Bacteria will attach to and form biofilms on almost all surfaces. This is particularly a problem in moist environments, including food preparation surfaces, pipe networks (eg. water, oil, and gas), water purification systems. The effects of bacterial biofilms are wide ranging and impact on human health, our capacity to use water resources effectively, and the environment where toxic chemicals are normally used to kill the biofilm. The technologies under development here have the potential to reduce our reliance on toxic chemicals as well as contribute to significant reductions in the cost to purify and distribute vital resources such as water as well as reducing bacterial contamination food surfaces.Funded Activity Details
