| detection, integration and persistence of aeromonads in water distribution pipe biofilms. | the occurrence of aeromonas spp. within biofilms formed on stainless steel (ss), unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (upvc) and glass (gl) substrata was investigated in modified robbins devices (mrd) in potable (mrd-p) and recycled (mrd-r) water systems, a biofilm reactor (br) and a laboratory-scale pipe loop (pl) receiving simulated recycled wastewater. no aeromonads were isolated from the mrd-p whereas 3-10% of ss and upvc coupons (mean 3.85 cfu cm(-2) and 12.8 cfu cm(-2), respectively) were aero ... | 2004 | 15387132 |
