Abstract

[Biofouling is an ancient undesirable phenomenon that takes place in several disciplines. Biofouling refers to the harmful effects which result from the microbial, algal and invertebrate colonization of man-made surfaces. Biofouling is classified into two main categories including; microbial and macrobial biofouling. Both exert deteriorating impact on environmental, health, industrial and safety disciplines. Biocides are usually employed to combat and treat the devastating effects which result from biofouling occurrence. Biocides are divided into oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides. Nonetheless, due to the high toxicity of such chemically synthesized biocides, new and eco-friendly formulations were explored by several researchers. Biomimetic inspired anti-foulants have been under study. Different compounds have been extracted from plant biomaterials, micro- and macro-algae, seaweeds, microorganisms and bacteriophages. Such compounds proved to display anti-biofouling effect. This chapter highlights the different fields that might be susceptible to biofouling including; marine, oil and gas industrial sectors. This chapter explores the deleterious consequences of biofouling. Moreover, biofouling types are investigated in details, factors which affect the phenomenon of biofouling as well as the common analytical techniques that are employed for the assessment of microbial corrosion. This chapter also emphasizes the-state-of the-art of the recent investigated trends that are employed to eradicate biofouling.]
