An authoritative overview of the ecological activities of microbes
in the biosphere Environmental Microbiology and Microbial Ecology
presents a broad overview of microbial activity and microbes'
interactions with their environments and communities. Adopting an
integrative approach, this text covers both conventional ecological
issues as well as cross-disciplinary investigations that combine
facets of microbiology, ecology, environmental science and
engineering, molecular biology, and biochemistry. Focusing
primarily on single-cell forms of prokaryotes -- and cellular forms
of algae, fungi, and protozoans -- this book enables readers to
gain insight into the fundamental methodologies for the
characterization of microorganisms in the biosphere. The authors
draw from decades of experience to examine the environmental
processes mediated by microorganisms and explore the interactions
between microorganisms and higher life forms. Highly relevant to
modern readers, this book examines topics including the ecology of
microorganisms in engineered environments, microbial phylogeny and
interactions, microbial processes in relation to environmental
pollution, and many more. Now in its second edition, this book
features updated references and major revisions to chapters on
assessing microbial communities, community relationships, and their
global impact. New content such as effective public communication
of research findings and advice on scientific article review equips
readers with practical real-world skills. Explores the activities
of microorganisms in specific environments with case studies and
actual research data Highlights how prominent microbial biologists
address significant microbial ecology issues Offers guidance on
scientific communication, including scientific presentations and
grant preparation Includes plentiful illustrations and examples of
microbial interactions, community structures, and human-bacterial
connections Provides chapter summaries, review questions, selected
reading lists, a complete glossary, and critical thinking exercises
Environmental Microbiology and Microbial Ecology is an ideal
textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in
biology, microbiology, ecology, and environmental science, while
also serving as a current and informative reference for
microbiologists, cell and molecular biologists, ecologists, and
environmental professionals.
