Quorum sensing: an emerging link between temperature and membrane biofouling ...
Lab-scale membrane bioreactors (MBRs) were investigated at 12, 18, and 25 °C to identify the correlation between quorum sensing (QS) and biofouling at different temperatures.... -
Comparison of laboratory and field testing performance evaluations of siloxan...
A series of eight novel siloxane-polyurethane fouling-release (FR) coatings were assessed for their FR performance in both the laboratory and in the field. Laboratory analysis... -

For the first time, the densities and diversity of microorganisms developed on ocean gliders were investigated using flow cytometry and Illumina MiSeq sequencing of 16S and 18S... -
Testing of novel net cleaning technologies for finfish aquaculture
To avoid the negative impacts caused by biofouling development, aquaculture nets around the world are periodically cleaned using high-pressure washers. Net cleaning is... -
Biodiversity characterisation and hydrodynamic consequences of marine fouling...
As part of ongoing commitments to produce electricity from renewable energy sources in Scotland, Orkney waters have been targeted for potential large-scale deployment of wave... -
Antifouling activity of portimine, select semisynthetic analogues, and other ...
A range of natural products from marine invertebrates, bacteria and fungi have been assessed as leads for nature-inspired antifouling (AF) biocides, but little attention has...
