About the editors William G. Characklis, PhD, is Director of the Institute for Biological and Chemical Process Analysis at Montana State University, and President of CCE, Inc., a consulting engineering firm. He has been Professor of Environmental Engineering at Rice University and is presently Professor of Chemical and Civil Engineering at Montana State University. Dr. Characklis received his BES in chemical engineering from Johns Hopkins University, an MSChE in chemical engineering from the University of Toledo, and a PhD in environmental engineering from Johns Hopkins University. The author was a recipient of the Merck Foundation Faculty Development award in 1972 and was a National Science Foundation Faculty Science Fellow from 1977 to 1978. He was senior editor of Biofilms: Structure and Function, also published by John Wiley. Kevin C. Marshall, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Biological and Behavioral Sciences at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He received his BSc from the University of Sydney and an MS and a PhD from Cornell University. A distinguished writer in the sciences, he has written one book, 24 reviews, and 76 original research papers. He has also served as Editor-in-Chief for five publications in the Wiley Advances in Microbial Ecology Series.
