Molecular and Physiological Mechanisms of Diatom Fouling Phenomena.

Abstract

This cooperative Augmentation Award for Science and Engineering Research Training has provided training for two doctoral students in several important areas of marine microalgal biofouling, including marine diatom mass culturing and adhesive isolation, biochemistry of adhesives, and laboratory experiments on the effects of substrate preconditioning on diatom adhesion. The overall goal of this research has been to provide a better understanding of the diatom portion of the biofouling process, to facilitate the development of more effective methods to control marine biofouling.
