The present book delves into the intricacies of biofilm formation
across diverse industries, including food, agriculture, soil and plant
health, fruits and vegetables, seafood, dairy and milk products, meat
and meat products, and beverages. It offers an in-depth explanation of
biofilm formation mechanism and assaying. Moreover, the book explores
various techniques and approaches that interfere with bacterial
attachment, bacterial communication systems, and biofilm matrices. It
also discusses the role of biofilm communication and quorum sensing,
the impact of antibiotics on biofilm formation, biofilm inhibitory
peptides, and novel methods of biofilm inhibition. The book examines
both the positive and negative aspects of biofilms, including
strategies for regulating harmful bacterial biofilms and mechanisms of
formation. Additionally, it highlights future perspectives on
bacterial biofilms and the use of dietary phytochemicals and removal
of bacterial adhesion to inhibit biofilms. Another significant aspect
of the book is the release of antimicrobial compounds, including
bacteriocins, bacteriophages, enzymes, essential oils, nano emulsions,
and nano particles, to prevent biofilm formation. The book also
explores newer techniques for removing biofilms, such as Cold Plasma
Technology, Ultra Sound, Light-assisted Technologies, Pulse Electric
Field, and High-Pressure Processing. Furthermore, the book discusses
the impact of genetic diversity on biofilm formation and its
implications for human health and the environment. It is designed for
readers, industrialists, students, and society activists who are
interested in maintaining a green and clean environment, safe food,
and good health. The book offers a comprehensive review of the
subject, ranging from the introduction to future implications on
biofilms. It provides the most recent updates in the field with a
holistic approach, aiming to equip readers with the necessary
information to manage biofilm and ensure hygienic practices and food
safety.
