Thanks @KAUST_News for posting our research covered by @KaustResearch

[KAUST @KAUST_News]

#KAUST scientists have made an enzyme that prevents bacteria from producing undesirable biofilms, that can cause biofouling, corrosion, and bacterial contamination, all of which are occur during water desalination processes.
