“…Biofilms constitute a very stable ecosystem, comprising communities of microorganisms, adhering to surfaces via extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) produced by the microorganisms themselves. These substances are mainly proteins and polysaccharides that protect the biofilms by retaining the microorganisms together, resulting in the formation of stable structures. , Unlike their planktonic counterparts, bacteria within the biofilm have a different phenotype, leading to different growth rates, genetic material exchange, and communication of the cells via quorum sensing. , Additionally, bacteria growing in a biofilm show great resistance to chemical and mechanical agents, tolerating antimicrobial concentrations 10–1000-fold higher than the free-floating planktonic cells. , Bacterial biofilms can be beneficial in nature as they improve organisms’ defenses , and play an important role in industrial processes such as wastewater treatment. , Moreover, they are also used in bioremediation procedures and biofuel and chemical production processes. However, in many industrial processes and medical fields, bacterial biofilms can be detrimental .…”

“…-Durante los primeros minutos de suministro, se produce el lavado inicial de la red; en este periodo la calidad del agua es baja (Kumpel & Nelson, 2013); estos niveles peligrosos de contaminación persisten hasta por 20 minutos después de la re-presurización (Franceys & Jalakam, 2010), (Neelakantan et al, 2014); si esta cantidad de agua es desechada, como debería ser, el desperdicio de agua es mayor y el tiempo de suministro se reduce. Las pocas horas de suministro producen caudales punta, que generan a su vez velocidades excesivas, las cuales pueden producir el desprendimiento de biopelículas que incrementan el riesgo en la salud de los usuarios (Tokajian & Hashwa, 2003), (Kumpel & Nelson, 2014), (Ramos, 2016).…”
