IWA Biofilms 2022
The conference venue is the beautiful island of Phuket within the city of Patong. This convenient location offers a diversity of lodging options at various price points. Direct flights to Phuket are available from Europe, United Sates of America, China, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, etc. The conference will offer opportunities for technical and tourism visits. We encourage you to register early as the venue has limited vacancies and many delegates already have committed to attending this important forum. As local hosts, we are ready to great you with famous Thai hospitality.
The technical program of the conference will comprise platform and poster presentations. All selected submissions will be presented according to the proceedings given to all conference delegates. Biofilms 2021 will relate the researches to the topic in areas of biofilms, as follows
- Emergent properties of biofilms
(e.g., functionalization of EPS, extracellular electron transfer, viscoelasticity) - Methods for biofilm characterization/monitoring
(e.g., novel visualization tools, quantification, microbiome analysis) - Cell-cell communication in biofilms
(e.g., membrane fouling and quorum quenching) - Modelling of biofilms
- Biofilm interaction with microplastics and nanoparticles
(e.g., colonization, retention) - Ecological theory for biofilm process enhancements
- Biofilm electrochemical processes
(e.g., microbially induced corrosion, bio-electrosynthesis, and energy recovery from wastewater) - Surface enhancements
(e.g., carrier innovations, anti-adhesive properties) - Real-world biofilm sensors
(e.g., drinking water systems, surface waters, sewers) - Biofilm reactors
(e.g., membrane-based biofilms, hybrid systems, anaerobic systems, MBBRs, granular sludge, anammox process, deammonification process)
