Description: Environmental microbiology is the study of those microorganisms which exist in natural or artificial environments.

Show Additional Record Data. Thoroughly updated and revised, the manual is the definitive reference for information on microbes in air, water, and soil and their impact on human health and welfare. Written in accessible, clear prose, the manual covers four areas: general methodologies, environmental public health microbiology, microbial ecology, and biodegradation and biotransformation. This wealth of information is divided into 18 sections each containing chapters written by expert authors.

The Manual of Environmental Microbiology, Fourth Edition, provides comprehensive coverage of this critical and growing field. Manual of Environmental Microbiology 4th Edition might be considered by some to be an ill-defined subject: Where does the environment begin, and where does it end? At the same time, our knowledge of microorganisms is increasing at an ever-more rapid rate as the result of incredible improvements in analytical methodology, especially at the molecular level.

When compiling a manual of this nature, therefore, how does one determine what to include and what to exclude? In the end, the editors decided to showcase as much information as possible on some of the most important areas of environmental microbiology , to provide a clear sense of the possibilities presented by the existence of microorganisms in various environments.
