This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of biofilm and its occurrence in distribution systems. Methods of biofilm measurements are presented, focusing on microscopy, synthesis on attachment, co-inoculation biofilm development, E. coli accumulation on the reactor level and the niche level. Further synthesis results:
less E. coli development and lower final density in
the pre-colonized system;
lower velocity region important for three reasons including
all initial colonization occurred here;
E. coli only persisted here, and
common microenvironment. Presentation conclusions indicate that:
bulk samples NOT representative of surface
community;
microenvironments very important; and,
bacterial interactions.
