Bacteria will attach to and form biofilms on almost all surfaces. This is particularly a problem in moist environments, including food preparation surfaces, pipe networks (eg. water, oil, and gas), water purification systems. The effects of bacterial biofilms are wide ranging and impact on human health, our capacity to use water resources effectively, and the environment where toxic chemicals are normally used to kill the biofilm. The technologies under development here have the potential to reduce our reliance on toxic chemicals as well as contribute to significant reductions in the cost to purify and distribute vital resources such as water as well as reducing bacterial contamination food surfaces.

细菌会附着在几乎所有表面上并形成生物膜。 这在潮湿的环境中尤其是一个问题，包括食物制备表面、管道网络（例如，水、石油和天然气）、水净化系统。 细菌生物膜的影响范围很广，影响人类健康，我们有效利用水资源的能力，以及通常使用有毒化学品杀死生物膜的环境。 这里正在开发的技术有可能减少我们对有毒化学品的依赖，并有助于显著降低净化和分配水等重要资源的成本，以及减少食品表面的细菌污染。
