Structure and Function of Biofilms W.G. Characklis P.A. Wilderer Editors Biofilms, the accumulation of microorganisms at surfaces (e.g. a rock, a heat exchanger tube, an oil droplet, a tooth, or a medical implant) play an important role in nature and have recently received increasing attention in science as well as in technology. This volume contains a summary of the current state of knowledge concerning the behavior of microorganisms in a biofilm and their physical, chemical, and biological interactions with each other and with the environment at both the biofilm—substratum and the biofilm—bulk liquid interfaces. New techniques to investigate biofilms and to predict the performance of biofilm systems are presented and future research needs are identified. An excellent source of information for microbiologists, medical scientists and engineers is provided.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Reviews the state of knowledge concerning the structure and function of biofilms, and the behavior of microorganisms in biofilms. Discusses the physical, chemical, and biological interactions of microorganisms with each other, and with the environment at both the biofilm-substratum and the biofilm-bulk liquid interfaces. Presents the latest techniques used to investigate biofilms and describes recent research results.
