At the Center for Biofilm Engineering (CBE), multidisciplinary research teams develop beneficial uses for microbial biofilms and find solutions to industrially relevant biofilm problems. The CBE was established at Montana State University, Bozeman, in 1990 as a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center. As part of the MSU College of Engineering, the CBE gives students a chance to get a head start on their careers by working on research teams led by world-recognized leaders in the biofilm field.

    Temperature dependency of microbial reactions
    (1979) Characklis, William G.; Gujer, Willi
    The 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
