This chapter focuses on the correlation between applied elastic waves and biofilm formation in a circulating type of laboratory biofilm reactor (LBR). Several metallic specimens were inserted into the LBR and elastic waves were applied to them for a certain period of time in an experiment. The other method of measurement was the staining test using crystal violet agents. This chemical can stain bacteria themselves and also EPS. Specimens were immersed in 0.1% crystal violet solutions for 30 minutes. The intermediate colors refer to heights between the highest and lowest and they change according to the height. The slight sea‐island patterns were observed when the ultrasonic waves were applied. Since the optical microscopic observation was a local measurement, the results suggest that biofilm still formed at some places on the aluminum surface. Chromium plated specimens were not affected by sonic waves. The extent of violet colors did not change in the case with and without sonic waves. The same tendency was also observed for the glass specimens.
