“…The book concluded with a single chapter devoted to radionuclides. “Biofilms,” (volume 53 in the ongoing Methods in Microbiology series from Elsevier), 12 includes a chapter entitled Micro- and Nanoscale Techniques for Studying Biofilm–Mineral Interactions, in which elemental speciation makes a cameo appearance.
