This book discusses how aquatic microbial communities develop
interactive metabolic coordination both within and between species
to optimize their energetics. It explains that microbial community
structuration often includes functional stratification among a
multitude of organisms that variously exist either suspended in the
water, lodged in sediments, or bound to one another as biofilms on
solid surfaces. The authors describe techniques that can be used
for preparing and distributing microbiologically safe drinking
water, which presents the challenge of successfully removing the
pathogenic members of the aquatic microbial community and then
safely delivering that water to consumers. Drinking water
distribution systems have their own microbial ecology, which we
must both understand and control in order to maintain the safety of
the water supply. Since studying aquatic microorganisms often
entails identifying them, the book also discusses techniques for
successfully isolating and cultivating bacteria. As such, it
appeals to microbiologists, microbial ecologists and water quality
scientists.
