Description
Biofilms in the Aquatic Environment addresses issues relating to the structure and physiology of biofilms in aquatic systems, in particular, strategies for treatment and control. Discussing the latest research in this rapidly developing field, this book provides an introduction to and definition of biofilms, before covering the complete spectrum of water systems in which they are found, from lakes and rivers through to potable water, high purity water systems and industrial process waters. It also provides a unique insight into the fundamental physiological processes which microorganisms adopt within biofilms, as a means of survival. With contributions from experts in the field and practitioners experienced in dealing with problems caused by biofilms, this will be essential reading for water quality regulators, microbiologists, scientists, engineers and those involved in public health aspects of this field.
