Roughness and wettability of biofilm carriers: A systematic review

Since the 1980s, many studies have reported the importance of biofilm carrier roughness on microbial attachment. Roughness can enhance the wettability (hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity) of biofilm carriers. Roughness and wettability can lead to firmly attached biofilms with proper thickness communit...
