Item Biofilm developement and destruction in turbulent flow(1979-01) Characklis, William G.Item Temperature dependency of microbial reactions(1979) Characklis, William G.; Gujer, WilliThe influence of temperature on the stoichiometry and rate of microbial processes is reviewed. Microbial rate processes are segregated into more fundamental processes such as mass transfer, biomass production, biomass decay and substrate uptake to provide a more systematic basis for analysis. The application of the techniques to determine temperature dependence of several unit processes is demonstrated with case studies based on published data.Item Biofilm development and destruction in turbulent flow(1979) Characklis, William G.Methods for direct and indirect measurements of biofilm development (fouling) are presented. Laboratory systems were developed to determine rate and extent of fouling as a function of wall shear stress, water quality, and bulk temperature. Experimental systems were also developed to evaluate the effects of oxidizing biocides and to compare their relative efficiency.Item Microbial film development and associated energy losses(1979) Bryers, James D.; Characklis, William G.; Zelver, Nick; Nimmons, M. G.Item Rainfall Quality, Land use, and Runoff Quality(1979) Characklis, William G.; Ward, C. H.; King, J. M.; Roe, Frank L.Previous investigators have indicated that air quality may contribute to surface water pollution through rainfall or dry fallout, or both, even to the extent that pollutants travel via the air from industrial and agricultural regions may be deposited in undeveloped areas. Data collected from a heavily developed area in Houston and a forested area 40 miles north were used to estimate the contribution of rainwater quality to stream pollution.Item Dynamics of biofilm processes(1979) Trulear, Michael Gerald; Characklis, William G.Item Hydraulic deterioration due to microbial slime growths(1978) Characklis, William G.; Zelver, Nick; Picologlou, B. F.Item Microbial reaction rate expressions(1978-06) Characklis, William G.The subject of this technical note is the equation of saturation kinetics that has been used to describe adsorption, enzyme conversions, microbial growth, and other rate phenomena. All of these processes can be characterized as possessing active reaction sites.Item Biofouling Film Development and Destruction: Experimental Systems(1978) Characklis, William G.Item Measurement of the formation and destruction of primary biofouling films(1978-08) Characklis, William G.; Picologlou, B. F.
