BiofilmCalanus SINTEF Focus activity 2008-2011
SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture
Biofilm project
Definition: Superorganised microbial communityAdhered to a surface and encapsuled in a matrixInternal communication via signal moleculesAltered genetic expressionProduces and degrades organic matter
Aim of project: Build competence within systems biology as a tool for solving biofilm-related problems
ProphylacticsInterventionElimination
SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture
Biofilm effects Harmful
Biofilms protect microbesagainst e.g. disinfection and antibioticsBiofilms increase pathogenicity of microbesBiofilms plug flow systemsBiofilms metabolicallytransform chemicals (e.g. acidification of oil wells)Microbial induced corrosion
BeneficialBiological treatment ofwaste waterBiofiltersBioremediation of pollutantsBioconversion of chemicalsMicrobially enhanced oilrecovery
Intervention requires an overall knowledge ofbiofilms

Calanomics projectWhy Calanomics?
Calanus is a key species in the North Atlantic marine ecosystem – 300 mill tons/yrChanges in Calanus levelswill severely affect stocks ofcommercial fish speciesHigh lipid content makes Calanus highly susceptible to environmental toxins
Aims of project:Establish methods for systems biology research ona key ecological speciesProvide a basis for modelling tools that predictshort and long term effectsof toxin exposure
