BIOFOULING

Biofouling is an international, peer-reviewed, multi-discliplinary journal which publishes original articles and mini-reviews and provides a forum for publication of pure and applied work on protein, microbial, fungal, plant and animal fouling and its control, as well as studies of all kinds on biofilms and bioadhesion.Papers may be based on studies relating to characterisation, attachment, growth and control on any natural (living) or man-made surface in the freshwater, marine or aerial environments, including fouling, biofilms and bioadhesion in the medical, dental, and industrial context. Specific areas of interest include antifouling technologies and coatings including transmission of invasive species, antimicrobial agents, biological interfaces, biomaterials, microbiologically influenced corrosion, membrane biofouling, food industry biofilms, biofilm based diseases and indwelling biomedical devices as substrata for fouling and biofilm growth.

Biofouling是一份国际性的、经同行评审的、多学科的杂志，发表原创文章和小型评论，并为发表有关蛋白质、微生物、真菌、植物和动物污染及其控制的纯和应用工作，以及各种生物膜和生物粘附的研究提供了一个论坛。论文可能基于对淡水、海洋或航空环境中任何自然(生物)或人造表面特征、附着、生长和控制的研究，包括污垢、生物膜和医学、牙科和工业环境中的生物附着。特别感兴趣的领域包括防污技术和涂层，包括入侵物种的传播、抗菌剂、生物界面、生物材料、微生物影响的腐蚀、膜生物膜、食品工业生物膜、基于生物膜的疾病以及作为污垢和生物膜生长基质的内嵌生物医学设备。
