A Complete Guidebook on Biofilm Study discusses biofilm issues in research and development, including sections on experimental design and relevant experimental protocols. In addition, inhibitors from natural or synthetic sources against microbial biofilm development are addressed. This approach is further substantiated by bioinformatics and nanotechnology. The book describes the different applications of bacterial and fungal biofilms and their role in different management systems and interactions. It concludes with a chapter on the benefits of biofilms for human health.This book is designed for researchers and professionals working on the fundamental aspects of biofilm formation and control and as a guide for conducting biofilm studies with consistent interpretations of results. Focuses on biofilm related gene regulation, along with the development of different inhibitors for therapeutic uses Provides protocols to better understand how to design experiments Effectively communicates necessary modifications on a case by case basis Includes coverage of the important aspects of image processing and bioinformatics approaches, along with texture of substratum of biofilms Covers applications of biofilm development INDICE: 1.
