The book is designed and developed to understand the microbial biofilms in aquatic ecosystems, their role, and the control strategies. The contents of the book are well discussed to get state-of-art knowledge on various topics such as the role of biofilms in marine ecosystems, microbial biofilms, and drinking water systems, biofilms in biofouling and biocorrosion, beneficial aspects of biofilms such as biogeochemical cycling, wastewater treatment, and in biodeterioration of organic materials. This book also provides comprehensive knowledge and in-depth scientific information on the role of biofilms and their contribution to antibiotic resistance, and also advanced technologies to understand biofilms viz metagenomics. The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including: Microbial biofilms in aquatic ecosystems. Provides new horizons to understand the role of biofilms in biofouling and corrosion and their control measures. Allow the scientific community to understand the beneficial role of aquatic biofilms such as in biogeochemical cycling, wastewater treatment, and biodeterioration of organic materials. Provides widespread avenues to develop various strategies to collaborate interdisciplinary schemes worldwide to design and develop new methods for cleaner drinking water, and also provides information on advanced techniques such as metagenomics to understand the diversity and functional role of aquatic biofilms. This book serves as a reference book for scientific investigators who would like to study biofilms in aquatic ecosystems, as well as researchers developing methodology in this field to study biofilm formation in aquatic ecosystems, their beneficial & harmful role, and control strategies"-- Provided by publisher.
