Written by experts in the field, this thoroughly updated third edition covers commonly used
and emerging suspended and attached growth reactors. Drawing on their extensive …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

Wastewater Microbiology focuses on microbial contaminants found in wastewater, methods
of detection for these contaminants, and methods of cleansing water of microbial …

Using a continuum approach and observing conservation principles, an analytical
mathematical model of microbial interaction in biofilms was developed. The model predicts …

Various types of fixed film biofilters have been used in recirculating aquaculture systems
under different water quality and operating conditions. The effectiveness of the nitrification …

The biofilm of a microbial fuel cell (MFC) experiences biofilm‐related (growth and mass
transport) and electrochemical (electron conduction and charger‐transfer) processes. We …

The six years that have passed since the publication of the first edition have brought
significant advances in both biofilm research and biofilm engineering, which have matured …

The immobilization of whole cells involves the retention of catalytically active cells within a
restricted region of a bioreactor. Techniques which have been used to immobilize whole …
