What is it about?
We developed a more practical and safer biofilm formation test system consisting of a looped laboratory biofilm reactor (LBR) and a Halomonas strain (HIG FST4 1), as compared to the slowly rotating test tube culture (TTC) test.

Why is it important?
Marine bacteria form marine biofilms. This problem is closely related to marine structures' corrosion degradation and scale formation. To develop countermeasures against this problem, we need to study the situation in the laboratory using model bacteria. In this study, we proposed a new model bacterium.
Perspectives
We intend to use these Halomonas bacteria to study marine biofilms in the future.
