Abstract:The safety of water supply network has always been a concern. The
biofilm attached on the pipes will fall into pipe-water under the
disturbance, which becomes a potential threat towards human health.
Particulate matter can provide shelter for bacteria, and most bacteria
in water will adhere to the surface of it, which is not easy to be
killed by disinfectants. Therefore, the effect caused by particulate
matters and extracellular polymer (EPS) on the stability of biofilm was
investigated. This study revealed th… Show more
