The knowledge about colonisation, succession, and demographic parameters of microorganisms on biofilms, especially for hetero-trophic flagellates, is still limited. One important factor determining the colonisation process of microorganisms is the flow velocity. In addition, growth rate, division rate, and mortality of the microorganisms depend on the temperature. This has may have consequences on the colonisation speed and carrying capacity on biofilms. Detailed investigations on the dynamics of biofilm-dwelling heterotrophic flagellates are still scarce even though these organisms show often the highest abundance compared to other protozoans in biofilms. Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to answer the question on how colonisation and dynamics of heterotrophic flagellates are affected by environmental parameters. These studies may serve as first steps for a better understanding of the dynamics of heterotrophic flagellates on biofilm. The book is addressed to scientists, students, and everyone how is interesting on biofilms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marlene Willkomm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639003357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639003352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Marlene Willkomm","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419616395519,"sku":"9783639003352","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a686e95e-fe39-4850-84d1-8971ed105915.jpg?v=1761512729","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heterotrophic-flagellates-on-biofilms-marlene-willkomm-9783639003352","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
