Biofilm formation on reverse osmosis membranes is initiated and dominated by Sphingomonas spp.

abstract：:In the natural environment, most of the phages that target bacteria are thought to exist in biofilm ecosystems. The purpose of this study was to gain a clearer understanding of the reactivity of these viral particles when they come into contact with bacteria embedded in biofilms. Experimentally, we quantified lactococ...
