A Complete Guidebook on Biofilm Study has emphasized the biofilm-related issues in the present context related to research and development. For this purpose, experimental design and relevant experimental protocols for the biofilm studies have been highlighted here. In addition to that, inhibitors from natural or synthetic sources against microbial biofilm development have been addressed. This approach has been further substantiated by bioinformatics as well as nanotechnology-based reports. Both, the image processing related to biofilm study and the characters of substratum associated with biofilm development have also been included for a better understanding of the beginners in this field. Further, how biofilm helps and/or hampers in food processing and waste management system, that discussion has been considered in this book. Similarly, human benefits from biofilm and reverse of it have also been included considering host-pathogen interaction, immunity aspects, and others.

Dr. Dwijendra Nath Roy, visiting Professor at the Oregon Health and Science University, in Portland, USA and Professor, Department of Bio Engineering, National Institute of Technology-Agartala (Govt. of India), Tripura, India, Dr. Roy has published 14 (fourteen) research papers in peer reviewed international journals (SCI) with high impact factors as first author as well as corresponding author, 1 (one) Edited book (Title: Terpenoids against Human Diseases) in CRC Press, 3 (three) book chapters (T&F, Elsevier, Wiley). Furthermore, he has been handling projects as Principle Investigator on ‘Development of Biofilm Inhibitor from medicinal plants and nanoparticles’, funded by Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India. In addition to this, he is guiding PhD students on Biofilm studies, which has prompted him to write an effective book on this topic for students/professional.
