• Biofilm in Moving Bed Biofilm Process for Wastewater Treatment 

      Wang, Shuai; Parajuli, Sudeep; Sivalingam, Vasan; Bakke, Rune (Chapter, 2019)
      A brief introduction of the long history of biofilm-based wastewater treatment is given together with basics of biofilm behavior and mechanisms in removal and transformation of pollutants. Moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) ...
    • Degradation of polymeric and particulate organic carbon in biofilms 

      Kommedal, Roald (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2003:101, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2003)
      Polymeric and particulate organic carbon (POM) are fundamental compounds in the global cycling of carbon, and constitute significant amounts of BOD in municipal wastewater. The main objective of this work is to study ...
    • Effects of initial molecular weight on removal rate of dextran in biofilms 

      Bakke, Rune; Milferstedt, Kim; Kommedal, Roald; Morgenroth, Eberhard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-05)
      Degradation kinetics of different size dextrans in a biofilm reactor were evaluated. Degradation rates of dextran standards, measured as time series of oxygen utilisation rates (OUR), decreased with increasing initial ...
    • Inverse problems for a model of biofilm growth 

      Brander, Tommi; Lesnic, Daniel; Cao, Kai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      A bacterial biofilm is an aggregate of micro-organisms growing fixed onto a solid surface, rather than floating freely in a liquid. Biofilms play a major role in various practical situations such as surgical infections and ...
    • Modeling Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm detachment 

      Kommedal, Roald; Bakke, Rune (HiT notat, Working paper, 2003)
      The mechanisms and modeling of surface biofilm detachment are evaluated in this study using data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa experiments and a standard one dimensional mass balance biofilm modeling approach. The aim of ...
    • Ribotype diversity of Listeria monocytogenes isolates from two salmon processing plants in Norway 

      Klæboe, Halvdan; Rosef, Olav; Fortes, Esther; Wiedmann, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)
      The purpose of this study was to use automated ribotyping procedure to track Listeria monocytogenes transmission in the cold smoked fish production chain and to characterize L. monocytogenes subtypes associated with the ...
