Biofilms are widespread in nature and constitute an important strategy implemented by
microorganisms to survive in sometimes harsh environmental conditions. They can be …

Biofilms affect the lives of all of us, growing as they do for example on our teeth (as plaque),
on catheters and medical implants in our bodies, on our boats and ships, in food processing …

The term microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is used to designate corrosion due to
the presence and activities of microorganisms, that is, those organisms that cannot be seen …

This second edition is a substantial revision of a well-regarded book in biofilm research.
Biofilms have taken on added importance in the past several years due to concerns …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is part of a range of emerging microscopic methods for
biologists which offer the magnification range of both the light and electron microscope, but …
