Antibiofilm activity of biomolecules: gene expression study of bacterial isolates from brackish and fresh water biofouled membranes
Keyword(s):
AbstractMembrane biofouling is a common and emerging problem, where cells get cemented and create problems in industrial process. Frequent chemical cleaning used for the treatment of biofouled membrane shortens the membrane life time and creates ‘stress’ to existing microflora to trigger more exopolysaccharides production, which becomes the principle cause of biofouling. To understand safe and environmentally feasible antifouling strategies, key biofilm forming representative bacteria isolated from brackish and fresh water biofouled membranes were subjected to natural agents, such as vanillin (0.05–0.4 mg/mL) and salicylic acid (0.1–0.7 mg/mL). Salicylic acid (0.7 mg/mL) was found to be effective against only
