The influence of surface material on the development of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans biofilms

Sulphate reducing bacteria have an important role in the sulphur cycle, and therefore in wastewater treatment systems. They are able to form biofilms on metallic surfaces, leading to fouling and corrosion problems. Additionally, hydrogen sulphide that is a product of their metabolism can cause serio...
