Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This comprehensive new text presents an overall picture of aquatic microbiology with emphasis on the interrelationships between discrete ecosystems and the significance of specific microbial processes within a larger perspective. New techniques, particularly in microbial identification, are permitting tremendous advances in our understanding of microbial ecology. Aquatic Microbiology relates this new knowledge to questions central to the environmental sciences: pollution and its management; global cycles and the release of genetically–engineered organisms. The book has twenty contributed chapters, divided into three sections: freshwater, marine, and extreme and man–made systems, each with a brief introduction. The text is organized by environment, with processes related to one another illustrating large scale patterns and global cycles.
