A Light-Responsive Biofilm Squashes Bacterial Growth in Water Purification Membranes (1 of 2)

image: Experimental setup to investigate the responses of the engineered biofim to the exposure to near infrared (NIR) light. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Dec. 7th, 2018, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by M. Mukherjee at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and colleagues was titled, "Engineering a light-responsive, quorum quenching biofilm to mitigate biofouling on water purification membranes." view more
