Over the past 4 billion years, microorganisms have contributed to
shaping the earth and making it more habitable for higher forms of
life. They are remarkable in their metabolic diversity and their
ability to harvest energy from oxidation and reduction reactions.
Research on these microbiological processes has led to the newly
evolving fields of geomicrobiology and biogeochemistry, linking the
geosphere and the biosphere. This volume of the Soil Biology series
provides an overview of the biogeochemical processes and the
microorganisms involved, with an emphasis on the industrial
applications. Topics treated include aspects such as bioremediation
of contaminated environments, biomining, biotechnological
applications of extremophiles, subsurface petroleum microbiology,
enhanced oil recovery using microbes and their products, metal
extraction from soil, soil elemental cycling and plant nutrition.

Bioaugmentation, biostimulation and biocontrol approaches using
microbial inoculants, biofertilizers, biochemicals and organic
amendments improve soil biology, fertility and crop productivity by
providing plant growth-promoting nutrients and suppressing
soil-borne diseases and plant-parasitic nematodes. Our knowledge of
microbial diversity and its function in soils has been increased
tremendously due to the availability of a wealth of data gained
through recent advances in the development of molecular methods and
metagenomics for the evaluation of microbial diversity and
functions in the rhizosphere environment of soil. Chapters dealing
with the application of biofertilizers and organic amendments are
contributed by experts - authorities in the area of soil science
including microbiology and molecular biology - from academic
institutions and the industry.
