Biofouling
Overview
Biofouling is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on the study of the colonization and growth of unwanted organisms on surfaces immersed in water. It covers a wide range of topics including biofilm formation, antifouling strategies, microbial interactions, and the ecological impacts of biofouling. The journal serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and policymakers interested in understanding and mitigating the detrimental effects of biofouling in various industries and ecosystems.
