Biofilm formation under turbulent conditions: External mass transfer versus shear stress
This work investigates the effect of flow rate variation on the development of Escherichia coli biofilms formed in a flow cell system under turbulent conditions. Two flow rates were tested corresponding to Reynolds numbers of 4350 and 6720. The higher flow rate favored planktonic growth whereas the...
