Barry1st ed. 2020.Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2020.1 online resource (XVI, 233 p. 155 illus., 89 illus. in color.) 981-15-2239-1 Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- Fundamentals for Biofilms -- Animate Substrata and Biofilms -- Biofilms in Nature and Artificial Materials -- Laboratory Biofilm Reactors -- Detection and Evaluation of Biofilms -- Standardization – Current and Future -- Biofilm Problems and Environments -- Biofilm Usefulness -- Biofilm Control and Thoughts for the Future.This book provides excellent techniques for detecting and evaluating biofilms: sticky films on materials that are formed by bacterial activity and produce a range of industrial and medical problems such as corrosion, sanitary problems, and infections. Accordingly, it is essential to control biofilms and to establish appropriate countermeasures, from both industrial and medical viewpoints. This book offers valuable, detailed information on these countermeasures. It also discusses the fundamentals of biofilms, relates various substrates to biofilms, and presents a variety of biofilm reactors. However, the most important feature of this book (unlike others on the market) is its clear focus on addressing the practical aspects from an engineering viewpoint. Therefore, it offers an excellent practical guide for engineers and researchers in various fields, and can also be used as a great academic textbook. .Microbial ecologyTribologyCorrosion and anti-corrosivesCoatingsEnvironmental engineeringBiotechnologyBiomedical engineeringBiomaterialsMicrobiologyMicrobial Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082Tribology, Corrosion and Coatingshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z15000Environmental Engineering/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U33000Biomedical Engineering/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B24000Biomaterialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z13000Applied Microbiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12010Microbial ecology.Tribology.Corrosion and anti-corrosives.Coatings.Environmental engineering.Biotechnology.Biomedical engineering.Biomaterials.Microbiology.Microbial Ecology.Tribology, Corrosion and Coatings.Environmental Engineering/Biotechnology.Biomedical Engineering/Biotechnology.Biomaterials.Applied Microbiology.579.17Kanematsu Hideyukiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut763572Barry Dana Mauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910373942203321Formation and Control of Biofilm in Various Environments2538297UNINA
