- Summary:
- An overwhelming majority of known species of microorganisms form biofilms (that is spatially and metabolically structured communities embedded in the extracellular biopolymer matrix). This book examines the processes in the example of microorganisms that interact with the animal or human organisms, playing the roles of symbionts or pathogens.
- Contents:
- Basic properties of microbial biofilms
- Quorum sensing and microbial biofilms
- Symbiotic microflora and its biofilms
- Influence of neurotransmitters on GI microflora and its biofilms
- Neurotransmitter biosynthesis and release by microorganisms : implications for symbiotic biofilms.
