Bacteria are the most ubiquitous life-forms on Earth, and are studied extensively to gain insight into their function and understand how they interact with their environment. In recent years, bacterial biophysics has added a new dimension to this research by using the tools of physics to investigate the quantitative principles that underpin these cellular systems. This book provides a modern and cohesive introduction to bacterial biophysics, with a focus on biofilms, slimes and capsules. In the first of three sections, key techniques and models from the physical sciences that can be applied to bacterial problems are presented. Section 2 then provides a bacterial microbiology primer for physical scientists and an examination of single-cell phenomena. The final section explores interacting bacteria and biofilms from a physical perspective. Ideal for physics graduates interested in this important field, this book is also relevant for researchers in physical chemistry, bioengineering, mathematics and microbiology.

Waigh, Thomas Andrew: - Dr Thomas Andrew Waigh is Reader in Biological Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester, UK. He has written three books: Applied Biophysics (Wiley, 2002), The Physics of Living Processes (Wiley, 2014) and Some Critical Questions in Biological Physics (IOP, 2017) and has published over 110 articles in peer reviewed journals. He has worked in the field of bacterial biophysics for over 10 years and organized many meetings on 'The physics of microorganisms. He currently works with industrialists on antimicrobial detergents.
