	abstract = {This chapter addresses two major challenges in oil sands tailings management: tailings densification and dewatering, and tailings and released water detoxification. It suggests an environmentally friendly solution: application of microbial biofilms for complex tailings treatment. The chapter reviews the current knowledge of the function of microbial biofilms in tailings treatment and describes possible mechanisms driving biofilm-mediated densification and bioremediation.},
