tailieunhanh - Microbiological Aspects of BIOFILMS and DRINKING WATER

After many years of studying microbiology, biofilms, and public health, it became my ambition to produce a book on these three areas. Having researched substantially into the formation and development of biofilms, particularly in potable water, I felt a book that could consolidate all the information on their public health significance was needed. This book provides a snapshot of public health and water with an appreciation of what a biofilm is and how well it presents a safe haven for pathogens, while factorizing unreported and reported water-related diseases | Microbiological Aspects of BIOFILMS and DRINKING WATER 2000 by CRC Press LLC The Microbiology of EXTREME AND UNUSUAL ENVIRONMENTS ------------ SERIES EDITOR--------- RUSSELL H.
