Microbe-Material Interactions: The environmental biotechnological perspective has a significant impact on the field of microbe-material interactions, biofilm formation and the emerging field of applied biotechnology. The book first discusses the fundamental principles, the state of the art in microbe-material interaction, and its utilization in bio processes and environmental technology. Understanding the fundamental processes of biofilm formation, the role of substances that exchange energy with the microbes, the biofilm matrix, and the process of optimizing biofilm formation is beneficial to everyone involved in biofilm development. This book will be of significant importance to environmental technology developers, researchers, professors, and policymakers. It will also be of significant importance to other stakeholders.

Interestingly, academic institutions, wastewater treatment plants, and research centers have dedicated biofilm-based environmental technologies, such as moving bed bioreactors, microalgae, tricking bed reactors, biofilters, and biochemical processes as they have the potential to be an environmentally friendly technology.
