Summary	Biofilm is of interest to a range of disciplines, from medicine to water technology. Although the habitats differ widely, common elements exist such as attachment, coadhesion and regulation of biofilm phenotype and architecture. This book aims to distil the common principles of biofilm physiology and growth for all interested disciplines.
