PhD Research:
Biofilms existence within water
networks represents a great threat, in spite of residual disinfectant used
as a common practice to ensure lower planktonic counts in drinking
water, as a safe haven for harmful pathogens. Bacillus Globigii,
a surrogate for Bascillus Anthracis,
is used to inoculate biofilms formed on steel coupons in a biological
annular reactor and their ability to stick to the existing biofilm
matrix is assessed. The efficacy
of chlorine dioxide will be assessed in the disnfection
of the biofilm matrix and the attched bascillus spores.
