      abstract     = {Biofouling and scaling on reverse osmosis (RO) or
                      nanofiltration (NF) membranes during desalination of
                      secondary and tertiary effluents pose an obstacle that
                      limits the reuse of wastewater. In this study we explored
                      the mineral scaling induced by biopolymers originated from
                      bacterial biofilms: bovine serum albumin (BSA), fibrinogen,
                      lysozyme and alginic acid, as well as an extracts of
                      extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from bio-fouled RO
                      membranes from wastewater treatment facility. Mineralization
                      studies were performed on Langmuir films of the biopolymers
                      deposited at the interface of a solution simulating RO
                      desalination of secondary-treated wastewater effluents. All
                      studied biopolymers and EPS induced heterogeneous
                      mineralization of mainly calcium phosphate. Using IR
                      spectroscopy coupled with systematic quantitative analysis
                      of the surface pressure versus molecular-area isotherms, we
                      determined the mineralization tendencies of the biopolymers
                      to be in the order of: fibrinogen > lysozyme > BSA > alginic
                      acid. The biopolymers and EPS studied here were found to be
                      accelerators of calcium-phosphate mineralization. This study
                      demonstrates the utilization of Langmuir surface-pressure
                      area isotherms and a model solution in quantitatively
                      assessing the mineralization tendencies of various molecular
                      components of EPS in context of membrane-based water
