Biofilms are predominant mode of life for microbes under natural
conditions. The three-dimensional structure of the biofilm provides
enhanced protection from physical, chemical and biological stress
conditions to associated microbial communities. These complex and
highly structured microbial communities play a vital role in
maintaining the health of plants, soils and waters. Biofilm
associated with plants may be pathogenic or beneficial based on the
nature of their interactions. Pathogenic or undesirable biofilm
requires control in many situations, including soil, plants, food
and water. Written by leading experts from around the world,
Biofilms in Plant and Soil Health provides an up-to-date review on
various aspects of microbial biofilms, and suggests future and
emerging trends in biofilms in plant and soil health. Issues are
addressed in four sub areas: I) The fundamentals and significance
of biofilm in plant and soil health, and the concept of mono and
mixed biofilms by PGPR and fungal biofilms. II) Biochemical and
molecular mechanisms in biofilm studies in plant associated
bacteria, and techniques in studying biofilms and their
characterization, gene expression and enhanced antimicrobial
resistance in biofilms, as well as biotic and biotic factors
affecting biofilm in vitro. III) The ecological significance of
soil associated biofilms and stress management and bioremediation
of contaminated soils and degraded ecosystems. IV) Pathogenic
biofilm associated with plant and food and its control measures.
This book is recommended for students and researchers working in
agricultural and environmental microbiology, biotechnology, soil
sciences, soil and plant health and plant protection. Researchers
working in the area of quorum sensing, biofilm applications, and
understanding microbiome of soil and plants will also find it
useful.
