Contributors from several biological sciences and from wastewater engineering compile the current theory, methodology, and application of aquatic biofilm research. They cover the biofilm mode of life, biofilms and pollution, and new technologies using biofilms. Among their topics are issues and options for the laser microscopy study of biofilms; interactions and communications within marine biofilms; benthic diatom monitoring and assessment of freshwater environments: standard methods and future challenges; using biofilms to assess the effects of chemicals on freshwater ecosystems; and electroactive biofilms in water and air pollution treatment.
