morning everyone!

its me again (off course, coz it my blog) hahaha...
im going to go to WWTP...but a little bit late today, maybe 9 something...
coz uitm is still offically closed due to Raya Holiday...
n its so damn quiet there...n scary tooo! but like always, i have to take care of my anak2 n cucu cicit...haha

its my biofilm....im going to analyze as soon as possible, so need to make sure it is in good condition before i can scrap it out and do some molecular techniques for the identification of it...i need to know what species of microoganisms present in the biofilm-bulkwater system..

i have to make sure that the condition for the biofilm to grow is totally anaerobic condition...which means that, no oxygen should be in the reactor...because the main aim is to produce sulphide...hopefully everythings is gonna be fine..ive been doing this for over 5 months already...n im still doing it....

*for those who dont know what is biofilm all about.....
actually biofilm is a consortium of bacteria...
there are many species of it in the biofilm...
bacteria tends to form biofilm when the condition favors them, in terms of nutrient availability, temperature n many more...
they prefer biofilm condition because, they really need each other..
we can just describe like: its like full of different people in one community...

so in this pic, the biofilm is the one blackish in color on the cover...the one in the reactor is actually attached to the Bioblocks...
the bioblocks is the materials placed that acts at the support material for the bacteria to attached to...u guys can see it clearly on the cover of the reactor..
thats how it looks...happy viewing!

pics of my biofilm....
