Molecular biology has revolutionized the study of microorganisms in
the environment and has improved our understanding of the
composition, phylogeny, and physiology of microbial communities.
The current molecular toolbox encompasses a range of DNA-based
technologies and new methods for the study of RNA and proteins
extracted from environmental samples. Currently, there is a major
emphasis on the application of "omics" approaches to determine the
identities and functions of microbes inhabiting different
environments. This book highlights the current state-of-the-art of
environmental molecular microbiology. International experts have
contributed chapters that describe the various technologies and
their applications in environmental microbiology. The first half of
the book focuses on the microbial diversity and phylogeny of
microorganisms in the environment and describes the molecular
toolbox currently available for the study of the composition and
diversity of microbial communities and their functions. Topics
include the use of the 16S rRNA gene as a phylogenetic marker,
metagenomics, metaproteomics, microarrays, and molecular
fingerprinting. The second half focuses on the application of these
approaches in various environments including soil, marine water,
plants, humans, and wastewater treatment. The last chapter of the
book discusses the genetics and environmental implications of
microbial biofilms. This is an essential book for advanced
students, research scientists, environmental agencies, and
industries involved in any aspect of environmental microbiology.
