The phrase "attached growth" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in contexts related to biology, environmental science, or engineering, particularly when discussing organisms or materials that grow attached to a surface.
Example: "The attached growth of bacteria on the filter media enhances the treatment efficiency of the wastewater."
Alternatives: "biofilm formation" or "surface adhesion".
The number of colonies was normalised by multiplying the average number of soft agar colonies by the ratio of attached growth colonies normal to attached growth colonies transfectant.
The new system dealt with an engineered attached growth matrix and a high microbial degradation rate.
More than any other biological system, attached growth systems require an interdisciplinary approach.
An attached growth bioreactor was designed to minimize the effect of suspended microorganisms on membrane fouling in submerged membrane bioreactor.
Its Agar (attached growth airlift reactor) technology optimises oxygen transfer efficiency and maximises the surface area through which treatment takes place.
The effect of different treatments (suspended growth with Activated Sludge Process; attached growth with Fixed Film; and combined treatment with Polyvinyl Alcohol Gel media) were analyzed.
A pilot-scale moving-fixed bed biofilm reactor including suspended and attached growths of nitrifying and denitrifying biomasses was set up to verify the model system.
Gelatin nanofibers with no growth factors attached and growth factors in suspension within media were used as controls.
Eventually all particle cores became surrounded by layers of molecules while the small particles no longer attached as growth species.
In addition to traditional open ponds and photobioreactors, attached algal growth systems can provide high rates of biomass production while simultaneously removing nutrients from wastewater effluent.
The evolution in time of important MFC parameters (current, charge, voltage and power production, consumption of substrates, suspended and attached biomass growth) has been simulated under several operational conditions.
