Produktbeschreibung
Recent Trends in Biofilm Science and Technology helps researchers working on fundamental aspects of biofilm formation and control conduct biofilm studies and interpret results. The book provides a remarkable amount of knowledge on the processes that regulate biofilm formation, the methods used, monitoring characterization and mathematical modeling, the problems/advantages caused by their presence in the food industry, environment and medical fields, and the current and emergent strategies for their control. Research on biofilms has progressed rapidly in the last decade due to the fact that biofilms have required the development of new analytical tools and new collaborations between biologists, engineers and mathematicians.
Autorenporträt
Manuel Simões is graduated in Biological Engineering and received a PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering. Currently, he is Assistant Professor and member of the Laboratory for Process Engineering, Environment, Biotechnology and Energy (LEPABE) in the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. Manuel Simões has more than 140 papers published in journals indexed in JCR, 2 books (1 as author and 1 as editor) and more than 25 book chapters. He is Assistant Editor of Biofouling - The Journal of Bioadhesion and Biofilm Research and Associate Editor of Frontiers in Microbiology journal. His main research interests are focused on the mechanisms of biofilm formation and their control with antimicrobial agents, particularly using new antimicrobial molecules.

Anabela Borges is graduated in Biology and has a Masters degree in Clinical Biology, both from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD-Portugal). She received a PhD degree in Biological Sciences from the same University. Currently, she is a post-doctoral researcher at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP-Portugal). Her main research interests are related to the problematic of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents and biofilm formation. Her research is focused on the development of antimicrobial strategies to control bacterial resistance in both planktonic and biofilm states, with special interest on phytochemicals/quorum-quenching compounds.Lúcia Chaves Simões is graduated in Biological Engineering and has a Masters degree in Environmental Technology and a PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Minho University (Portugal). Currently, she is a research fellow at CEB-University of Minho. Lúcia Simões already published one book, 35 papers in peer-reviewed journals and 7 book chapters. Her main research interests focus on the mechanisms of drinking water biofilm formation and biofilm control
