Sinossi
We tend to imagine bacteria as solitary wanderers floating in test tubes, but the reality beneath our feet and inside our bodies is far more complex. Biofilm Cities reveals that most microbes actually live in thriving, fortified communities that rival human metropolises in organization. This book answers a fundamental question: how do single-celled organisms cooperate to build structures, wage wars, and survive conditions that would kill an individual in seconds? It is an essential read for science enthusiasts, healthcare professionals, and anyone curious about the invisible social lives of the microscopic world.
Readers will journey through the slime-paved streets of microbial mega-structures, discovering how bacteria engineer water channels, communicate via chemical languages, and ruthlessly police their own citizens against freeloaders. You will learn why these biological fortresses are so resistant to antibiotics, turning standard medical treatments into futile sieges, and explore how they wreak havoc on industrial pipelines while simultaneously cleaning our wastewater. From the plaque on your teeth to the rust on oil rigs, this narrative uncovers the massive impact of these microscopic collectives.
Part of The Library of Unconventional Ideas, this volume bridges the gap between academic microbiology and popular science. By treating biofilms as sophisticated cities rather than mere infections, it offers a fresh perspective on the oldest life forms on Earth. Concise, engaging, and rigorously researched, this book provides the intellectual tools to understand the sticky
