However, one of the most serious problems confronting the student is the dearth of appropriate texts. In part this is a reflection of the plethora of potential subject matter.
Microorganisms play a major role in the geobiology and geochemistry of the planet, forming the basic stage in the food chain, and thus sustaining the existence of higher evolutionary life....
This text attempts to bring the scattered material on applied effects of microorganisms on environment, human health and welfare together in the form of a complete book on environmental microbiology.
Builds on the First Edition with updates from the current literature and expanded references Establishes basic core concepts and integrates the many subdisciplines of environmental microbiology with a unified, single-author treatment ...
Environmental microbiology is the study of microbial processes in the environment, microbial communities and microbial interactions.
This book was written for an audience that has a basic understanding of microbiology. Often microbiologists tend to overzealously focus on bacteria, inadvertently ignoring other microbes (i.e., algae, fungi, protozoa,...

Soil microbiology.
Contributions in the volume cover several aspects of applied microbial research, basic research on microbial ecology and molecular genetics.
Micro-organisms play a major role in the geochemistry of the planet, forming the basic stage in the food chain, and thus sustaining the existence of higher evolutionary life.
Combining the basics of science with the most up-to-date new material, and incorporating high quality photographs and graphics, this book is valuable as both a textbook and reference guide for students and professionals.
The present text has been designed to outline the basic and fundamental aspects of Environmental Microbiology to be understood in its right perspective.
