Abstract:Biofilm is ubiquitous in natural environments, causing biofouling in industrial water systems and leading to liquidity and heat transfer efficiency decreases. In particular, multi-species coexistence in biofilms can provide the synergy needed to boost biomass production and enhance treatment resistance. In this study, a total of 37 bacterial strains were isolated from a cooling tower where acetic acid and propionic acid were used as the primary carbon sources. These isolates mainly belonged to Proteobacteria a… Show more
