Reverse osmosis membranes applied in seawater desalination plants as a source of bacteria with antifouling activity: Isolation, biochemical and molecular characterization

Background: During lifespan of reverse osmosis systems applied in seawater desalination plants, a common phenomenon of undesirable growth and accumulation of biological material known as biofouling occurs. Microbial cells are first settlers, attaching and enclosing themselves in extracellular polyme...
