Abstract

Biofilms are common in water systems and can lead to mechanical failure or illness of water system users. Methods for evaluating anti-fouling coatings have largely been informed by the medical industry and have not been tailored to industrial or spacecraft water systems. The goal of the paper is to help guide researchers in designing experiments to evaluate coatings that accurately represent the system under investigation. This review identified eight experimental design considerations when evaluating coatings in water systems: biofilm reactor operation, microorganism selection, reinoculation, coating surface area, liquid medium, experiment duration, coating performance evaluation, and the use of microgravity. The impact of each decision made within each of these considerations is presented. Further, the methods featured in eight studies investigating coatings for Earth-based or spacecraft water systems are discussed. This review serves to guide researchers toward improved experimental design to enable successful technology transfer from the lab bench to Earth and beyond.

设计用于地面和航天器水系统的防污涂层测试的考虑。
生物膜在水系统中很常见,可导致水系统用户的机械故障或疾病。评估防污涂层的方法在很大程度上是由医疗行业提供的,而不是针对工业或航天器水系统量身定制的。本文的目的是帮助指导研究人员设计实验,以评估准确代表所研究系统的涂层。这篇综述确定了在水系统中评估涂层时的八个实验设计考虑因素:生物膜反应器操作、微生物选择、再接种、涂层表面积、液体介质、实验持续时间、涂层性能评估和微重力的使用。提出了在这些考虑因素中作出的每项决定的影响。此外,还讨论了八项研究中关于地球或航天器水系统涂层的方法。这篇综述有助于指导研究人员改进实验设计,使技术成功地从实验室转移到地球和其他地方。

期刊介绍: Biofouling is an international, peer-reviewed, multi-discliplinary journal which publishes original articles and mini-reviews and provides a forum for publication of pure and applied work on protein, microbial, fungal, plant and animal fouling and its control, as well as studies of all kinds on biofilms and bioadhesion. Papers may be based on studies relating to characterisation, attachment, growth and control on any natural (living) or man-made surface in the freshwater, marine or aerial environments, including fouling, biofilms and bioadhesion in the medical, dental, and industrial context. Specific areas of interest include antifouling technologies and coatings including transmission of invasive species, antimicrobial agents, biological interfaces, biomaterials, microbiologically influenced corrosion, membrane biofouling, food industry biofilms, biofilm based diseases and indwelling biomedical devices as substrata for fouling and biofilm growth, including papers based on clinically-relevant work using models that mimic the realistic environment in which they are intended to be used.
