DESCRIPTION:
Fantastic Intro and Overview Dr. Terrence McGarty Biofilms are somewhat pervasive and range from those which grow on human implants, to those on the hulls of ships, those in water and oil pipelines. They often have damaging effects and there must be ways to mitigate their effects. This book a a fantastic introduction to biofilms. It presents the biological properties that allow their development, discusses ways to mitigate them, and examines their influence on humans, pipelines, ships and others. Each chapter presents a brief but exceptionally well present discussion of the topic and also provides references so that one may dive deeper into the specifics.The book is short, but clear and
From the Back CoverThis book explains the formation of biofilm on materials surfaces in an industrial setting.
