Bacterial Degradation of Organic and Inorganic Materials: Staphylococcus aureus Meets the Nanoworld (EPUB)
Bacterial Degradation and Nanoparticle Production
Written by Marziale Milani, Roberta Curia, Natalia Vladimirovna Shevlyagina, and Francesco Tatti, this interdisciplinary work focuses on the bacterial degradation of materials such as prosthetic devices and the production of non-engineered nanoparticles (NPs). The book explores the interaction of these often toxic NPs with the environment, microorganisms, and the human body. The use of the Electron Microscopy method to investigate bacterial colonization and degradation of plastic polymers is highlighted. Moreover, the book includes a comprehensive section fully dedicated to the most recent and interesting microscopy technologies in microbiology and soft matters, while the final chapter is dedicated to Lyubov Vasilievna Didenko (1958 – 2015), who made significant contributions to Electron Microscopy research and its applications in studying bacterial-polymer interactions.
