“…The typical thickness of biofilms is 100 μm (Kim et al 2012) and comprises more than 700 species of bacteria and microorganisms (Clarke, 2016). Owing to the heterogeneous composition of biofilms, the electric field or force effect is considered a general method for various biofilm treatment applications, including clinical infections (Ehrlich et al, 2005) and environmental contamination management (Hu et al, 2022). For ocean applications, its efficacy will be examined further under various ocean conditions, including the changes of salt in seawater with temperature.…”

Biofouling initiated by biofilm (slime) formation is a key challenge for practical ocean engineering and construction. This study evaluated a new anti-biofilm technology using bioelectricity. The anti-microfouling electrical technology is based on the principles of the bioelectric effect, known as the application of an electrostatic force for biofilm removal. Previously, the electricity was optimized below 0.82V to avoid electrolysis, which can prevent the production of biocides. A test boat comprised of microelectronics for electrical signal generation with electrodes for an anti-biofouling effect was developed. The tests were conducted in the West Sea of Korea (Wangsan Marina, Incheon) for three weeks. The surface biofouling was quantified. A significant reduction of fouling was observed under the bioelectric effect conditions, with approximately 30% enhanced prevention of fouling progress (P<0.05). This technology can be an alternative eco-friendly technique for anti-microfouling that can be applied for canals, vessels, and coastal infrastructure because it does not induce electrolysis.

“…It encapsulates a microcosm where bacteria collaborate, communicate, and adapt to their environment, forming complex structures on a variety of surfaces [9,10]. This symbiotic existence holds profound implications for a multitude of applications, spanning from health and industry to environmental science [11,12]. One of the most intriguing aspects of biofilm matrix is the duality they embody [13,14].…”

Biofilm matrix is akin to bacterial abodes, primarily composed of proteins, polysaccharides, extracellular DNA, and lipids, providing essential structural support to bacteria. While some biofilm matrix offers significant benefits, such as engineered biofilm reactors that assist in water pollutant removal, others pose risks to human health, potentially leading to conditions like lung infections. Realizing the potential of advantageous biofilm matrix and mitigating the harmful effects of detrimental ones necessitates a comprehensive and systematic exploration of this intricate domain. To facilitate this examination, our study leveraged a dataset of the 1000 most pivotal papers in the field and conducted an exhaustive bibliographic review. This paper serves as a valuable resource for understanding the current progress in biofilm matrix research and delving into vital avenues for future exploration in this dynamic field.
