Description

Environmental Microbiology, Fourth Edition is the revised edition of a key, foundational text for the field of environmental microbiology which hits all the pillars of the field and takes into account the tremendous advances in environmental microbiology over past decade. It provides comprehensive information on traditional methodologies utilized to study environmental microbes, as well as state-of-the-art technologies. Emphasis is placed on molecular and bio-informatic approaches to the study of environmental microbes, including nucleic acid and 'omic methodologies. The book is divided into seven parts that stretch across microbiology concepts, microbial environments, microbial methods and technologies, microbial transport, biogeochemistry, and bioremediation, water and foodborne pathogens, wastewater treatment and distribution, and urban microbiology. 1) "Environmental Microbiology" is the study of microbes within all habitats, and their beneficial and detrimental impacts on human health and welfare. This book illustrates the significance of environmental microbes in our daily lives in terms of not only the overall health of the planet, but also: what infects us; what heals us; what we drink; what we eat; and what we breathe.
