The Center for Biofilm Engineering:
Biofilm research & education relevant to industry, health, and the environment
Multidisciplinary research teams find solutions to industrially relevant biofilm problems, as well as beneficial uses for microbial biofilms at the Montana State University Center for Biofilm Engineering (CBE). The CBE was established in 1990 as a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center. As part of the MSU College of Engineering, the CBE gives students a chance to get a head start on their careers by conducting research with teams led by world-recognized leaders in the biofilm field.

CORROSIVE MICROBES

                        (MSU photo by Kelly Gorham)
Jennifer Hornemann hopes to help Exxon Mobil expand its research into the corrosive havoc that microbes can cause to pipelines and other equipment. Microbes, living together in colonies called biofilms, can corrode pipes and other hardware vital to getting oil from one place to another. That damage can affect the oil supply, which in turn affects the price of gas and diesel fuel.  Read the full story

Jennifer will be presenting her work at the upcoming Montana Biofilm Science & Technology Meeting (see draft agenda).
