      Monitoring and quantification of bioelectrochemical Kyrpidia spormannii biofilm development in a novel flow cell setup
      Spatially resolved data for biofilm structure can often not be assessed easily in bioelectrochemical setups due to the orientation and placement of anode and cathode. However, understanding the interplay of biofilm (structure) development and electrochemical parameters is crucial for optimizing bioelectrochemical biofilm systems. For example, to produce value added products. This study thus, presents a versatile flow cell setup allowing for control of hydrodynamic, substrate (liquid and gaseous), and nutritional ...

      In-situ monitoring and quantification of fouling development in membrane distillation by means of optical coherence tomography
      Fouling formation in membrane distillation limits process stability and could cause besides wetting a rapid flux decrease making the process inefficient. Process performance is conventionally assessed by flux monitoring. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) enables in-situ visualization and quantification of fouling layers dominated by scaling in a fully operated direct contact membrane distillation system (DCMD). This study presents an innovative methodology for 3D dataset analysis allowing for the detection and quantification ...

      Determination of mechanical properties of biofilms by modeling the deformation measured using optical coherence tomography
      The advantage of using non-invasive imaging such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) to asses material properties from deformed biofilm geometries can be compromised by the assumptions made on fluid forces acting on the biofilm. This study developed a method for the determination of elastic properties of biofilms by modelling the biofilm deformation recorded by OCT imaging with poroelastic fluid-structure interaction computations. Two-dimensional biofilm geometries were extracted from OCT scans of ...

      Quantification of particulate matter attached to the bulk-biofilm interface and its influence on local mass transfer
      A large fraction of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in municipal wastewater is associated with the particulate matter. The presence of these particles might impose a negative impact on the mass transfer in biofilm systems when they attach to the bulk-biofilm interface. We thus investigated the impact of real wastewater particles by combining optical coherence tomography (OCT) and oxygen microsensor measurements. The deposition of wastewater particles of different size classes ...

      Optical coherence tomography in biofilm research: A comprehensive review
      Imaging of biofilm systems is a prerequisite for a better understanding of both structure and its function. The review aims to critically discuss the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the visualization of the biofilm structure as well as its dynamic behavior. A short overview on common and well-known, established imaging techniques for biofilms such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), Raman microscopy (RM), and ...

      Optical coherence tomography system mass-producible on a silicon photonic chip
      Miniaturized integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems have the potential to unlock a wide range of both medical and industrial applications. This applies in particular to multi-channel OCT schemes, where scalability and low cost per channel are important, to endoscopic implementations with stringent size demands, and to mechanically robust units for industrial applications. We demonstrate that fully integrated OCT systems can be realized using the state-of-the-art silicon photonic device portfolio ...

      Assessing the influence of biofilm surface roughness on mass transfer by combining optical coherence tomography and two-dimensional modeling
      Imaging and modeling are two major approaches in biofilm research to understand the physical and biochemical processes involved in biofilm development. However, they are often used separately. In this study we combined these two approaches to investigate substrate mass transfer and mass flux. Cross-sectional biofilm images were acquired by means of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for biofilms grown on carriers. A 2D biofilm model was developed incorporating OCT images as ...

      Investigating biofilm structure developing on carriers from lab-scale moving bed biofilm reactors based on light microscopy and optical coherence tomography
      This study focused on characterizing the structure of biofilms developed on carriers used in lab-scale moving bed biofilm reactors. Both light microscopy (2D) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were employed to track the biofilm development on carriers of different geometry and under different aeration rates. Biofilm structure was further characterized with respect to average biofilm thickness, biofilm growth velocity, biomass volume, compartment filling degree, surface area, etc. The results showed ...

  4. About Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

    Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

    Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ( KIT ) is one of the largest and most prestigious research and education institutions in Germany known for its high quality of research work around the world. It was created in 2009 when the University of Karlsruhe ( Universität Karlsruhe ), founded in 1825 as public research university and also known as "Fridericiana", merged with the Karlsruhe Research Centre Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe , which was originally established as a national nuclear research centre (Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe, or KfK) in 1956.
