Abstract
Biofilm systems consist of complex microbial communities embedded in hydrated bio-macromolecules. These biological systems have been studied by diverse analytical techniques, among them by nuclear magnetic resonance and imaging. There are still open questions regarding structure and functionality. In this review, nuclear magnetic resonance approaches, especially in form of magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion modalities, are summarized with respect to insights into biofilm structure, diffusion and advection, i.e. mass transport. Furthermore, possibilities and limitations regarding metabolomics are recapitulated and analysed with respect to open research questions. Perspectives for biofilm research will be discussed from the point of view of current technical and methodical developments of nuclear magnetic resonance. The impact of the named nuclear magnetic resonance techniques will be reflected in the context of water treatment and biofilm development in porous media as well as in technical applications such as biofilm reactors and biofiltration.
