Influence of Simplified Microbial Community Biofilms on Bacterial Retention in Porous Media under Conditions of Stormwater Biofiltration

ABSTRACT Porous media filters are used widely to remove bacteria from contaminated water, such as stormwater runoff. Biofilms that colonize filter media during normal function can significantly alter performance, but it is not clear how characteristics of individual populations colonizing porous med...
