What to read after Material-Microbes Interactions?

Material-Microbes Interactions: Environmental Biotechnological Perspective brings great insights into microbes-material interactions, biofilm formation and emerging bioprocesses within the field of applied biotechnology. The book systematically summarizes the fundamental principles, the state-of-the-art in microbes-material interaction, and its application in bioprocess and environmental technology development. Understanding the fundamental processes of biofilm formation, the role of material to exchange the energy with microbes, biofilm matrix, and optimization of the biofilm formation process is useful to everyone involved with bioprocess development. This book will be of significant interest to environmental technology developers, researchers, university professors, policymakers, graduate and postgraduate students and other stakeholders.

Interestingly, academic institutions, wastewater treatment plants and research centers have upscaled biofilm-based environmental technologies, such as moving bed bioreactors, microalgae, tricking bed reactors, biofilters, and bioelectrochemical process as promising environmental technologies.

• Illustrates growing interest in biofilm-based technology development, either wastewater treatment using carrier materials or valorizing waste material into resources using biofilm-based bioprocess
• Focuses explicitly on the microbes-material interactions in various biotechnologies
• Covers a broad range of biofilm-based bioprocesses, including new and state-of-the-art options and trends within the field
• Includes photo-sets on biofilm development and bioreactor systems
