Cyanobacteria in marine biofilms: Hydrodynamic and surface effects
Abstract
The adhesion and settlement of biofouling organisms is an ongoing concern in aquatic environments as marine biofouling causes several economic, environmental and ecological problems. Coccoid and filamentous cyanobacteria play a significant role in marine biofouling development. Several biological, physical and chemical parameters have been identified as modulators of biofilm development affecting its composition and structure. Among these, the fouling surface properties and flow velocity/shear rate have a critical impact on marine biofilms. Therefore, studies based on the influence of surface parameters and those performed under controlled hydrodynamic conditions are essential for developing effective antifouling strategies for marine application. This chapter reviews the major impacts of marine biofouling and the role of cyanobacteria on biofilm development. Moreover, the effects of hydrodynamic conditions, surface properties, and microbial content on cyanobacterial biofilm development are highlighted. © 2022 By Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
