Abstract
reduction, medical applications, and fluidized beds. We recommend increased modelling efforts to complement experimental work and to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms behind biological, non-fouling membranes, as well as other biological mechanisms relevant to water management, anti-fouling, and antimicrobial strategies. Additionally, we encourage making a clear distinction between biomimicry, bio-inspiration, and bio-integration, with guidelines and standardized nomenclature.
