The Effect of Anolyte & Catholyte on Biofilms
Introduction Adhesion to surfaces is a common and well known behaviour of microorganisms in oligotrophic habitats (Zobell, 1943). This adhesion and subsequent metabolism lead to the formation of biofilms (39). Bacterial biofilms promote increased biomass deposition (54), resulting in fluid flow resistance, loss of heat exchange and microbial induced corrosion in industrial water cooling systems
