Summary:In the last 20 years, moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) has been established as a simple-yetrobust, flexible and compact technology for wastewater treatment. It is one of the advanced aerobic wastewater treatment process by taking advantages of both attached and suspended growth systems. The vast majority of bacteria adhere to surfaces and form complex and heterogeneous microbial communities termed biofilms which have a tremendous positive potential in biotechnology for biocatalysis and waste treatment. In this work, we studied the Echerichia coli (E. coli) adhesion properties on synthetic artificial materials (SAMs), also known as biofilm carriers, based on High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The results showed that E. coli adherence to SAMs is not only preserved, but it is also enhanced by the presence of 7% cellulose in SAMs composition.
