This book provides a broad range of applications and recent
advances in the search for biofilm materials in nature. It also
explains the future implications for biofilms in the areas of
advanced molecular genetics, pharmaceuticals, pharmacology, and
toxicology. This book is comprised of 20 chapters from leading
experts in the field and it examines immunology and microbiological
studies derived from biofilms as well as explores environmental,
agricultural, and chemical impacts on biofilms. It is divided into
five subdivisions: biofilms and its complications, biofilm
infections in human body, detection of biofilm-forming pathogens,
antibiofilm chemotherapy, and biofilms production tools in
aquaculture. This book may be used as a text or reference for
everyone interested in microbial biofilms and their current
applications. It is also highly recommended for environmental
microbiologists, medical microbiologists, bioremediation experts,
and microbiologists working in biocorrosion, biofouling,
biodegradation, water microbiology, quorum sensing, and many other
related areas. Scientists in academia, research laboratories, and
industry will also find it of interest. This book includes chapter
homework problems and case studies. Powerpoints are also available
for adopting instructors. Discusses and clarifies the resource of
isolation and chemical properties from biofilms Discusses the
latest pharmaceutical, pharmacological, and medicinal approaches
toward the treatment of chronic and uncured diseases, such as
Alzheimer's osteoporotic, sexual dysfunction, sleep sickness,
allergy treatment, asthma, hair loss, AIDS, hypertension,
antiaging, etc. Examines immunology and microbiological studies
derived from biofilms Explores environmental, agricultural, and
chemical impacts on biofilms. Dr. Bakrudeen Ali Ahmed Abdul is an
Associate Professor, the Head of the Department of Biochemistry and
Dean of the School of Life Sciences, Centre for Research and
Development (CRD), PRIST Deemed University, Vallam, Thanjavur,
Tamil Nadu, India. His research areas include the application of
plant biochemistry, bioactive compound production, biotechnological
methods, development of pharmaceutical products and pharmacological
