Biofilm growth and control in cooling water industrial systems

Abstract: Matrix-embedded, surface-attached microbial communities, known as biofilms, profusely colonise industrial cooling water systems, where the availability of nutrients and organic matter favours rapid microbial proliferation and their adhesion to surfaces in the evaporative fill material, heat exchangers, water reservoir and cooling water sections and pipelines. The extensive growth of biofilms can promote micro-biofouling and microbially induced corrosion (MIC) as well as pose health problems associated with the… Show more

“…A strain of the heterocytous cyanobacterium T. variabilis (Kützing ex Bornet & Flahault) Komárek & Anagnostidis (VRUC168) was isolated from microphytobenthos of a Mediterranean shallow coastal lagoon (Cabras lagoon, Sardinia, Italy) [ 11 ] and maintained in standard Blue Green Medium (BG11) [ 79 ] at 18–20 °C, irradiance of 30 μmol photons m −2 s −1 and 12:12 hs L/D cycle. A polyphasic approach was used for strain circumscription elsewhere [ 12 ].…”

“…Commercial exploitation of cyanobacteria relies on intensive cultivation of biomass for the production of high-value compounds useful not only in nutraceutics, therapeutics and cosmetics but also for the production of advanced bio-material [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. In this context, we focused on a strain of Trichormus variabilis (Kützing ex Bornet & Flahault) Komárek & Anagnostidis, isolated from sediment biofilms of a dystrophic coastal lagoon [ 11 ]. T. variabilis VRUC168 was selected based on prior studies that showed ease of growth in a range of photobioreactors (PBRs), even in suspension, self-flocculation, and interesting productivity of nutraceutical products, such as Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and Exopolymeric Substances (EPS) [ 12 , 13 ].…”

“…As células do biofilme apresentam uma maior tolerância aos desinfetantes em relação as bactérias planctônicas. Sua resistência aumentada é multifatorial (HEINZEL et al, 1998;BRIDIER et al, 2011;PAL et al, 2015;PIPPO et al, 2018) resultante da adaptação fenotípica, transferências gênicas e mutações (KELLY et al, 2009;HANNAN et al, 2010;PIPPO et al, 2018).…”
