Elucidating biofouling over thermal and spatial gradients in seawater membrane distillation in hot climatic conditions

•Biofilm thickness increased along the feed water path due to temperature gradient.•Diversity of EPS fluorescence peaks decreased with the increase in feed temperature.•Larger proportion of thermophilic bacteria colonized membranes at 55°C and 65°C.•Intact cells in biofilms were dominant over the da...
