Investigation of biofilms

摘要: Drinking water systems, wastewater operations, and even groundwater surface water, have in common the presence of cellular colonies called biofilms. Until now means for studying biofilms been limited. The present text provides first in-depth assessment current experimental ways biofilms, both sample form situ. It shows how sensors, microscopy, lasers, calorimetry, among other tools, can be used to obtain data on morphology metabolism In clarifying way are studied, book offers new insights into themselves. At same time applies techniques inquiry many problems confronting environmental specialist, notably, control corrosion biofouling, improvement fixed-biofilm reactors treatment.
