Abstract

Protozoa and metazoan were isolated from biofilms in Thailand to study the effects of temperature on their growth. The study revealed that the protozoa and metazoan that were isolated in Thailand could not grow at low temperatures of 15°C or less. The growth of protozoa and metazoan isolated from biofilms in Thailand tends to be more susceptible to temperature than that of ones isolated in Japan.
