"Bacterial Biofilms" ed. by Sadik Dincer, Melis Sümengen Özdenefe, Afet Arkut

This book examines biofilms in nature. It is designed for clinicians, researchers, and industry professionals in the fields of microbiology, biotechnology, ecology, and medicine as well as graduate and postgraduate students.

Organized into four parts, this book addresses biofilms in wastewater treatment, inhibition of biofilm formation, biofilms and infection, and ecology of biofilms.
