Gene expression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on reverse osmosis membranes. Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1

The transcriptome of P. aeruginosa PA01 biofilm cells was compared to the associated suspended culture, upon growth on reverse osmosis membrane coupon under limited nutrient conditions. Keywords: growth in reverse osmosis unit and on reverse osmosis membrane Overall design: Cells were collected from the RO unit and from the membrane coupon after 20 hours of growth and biofouling of the membrane. A defined media was used, resembeling secondary wastewaters.
