Book Overview

For microbiology and environmental microbiology courses, this leading textbook builds on the academic success of the previous edition by including a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of environmental microbiology as a discipline that has grown in scope and interest in recent years. From environmental science and microbial ecology to topics in molecular genetics, this edition relates environmental microbiology to the work of a variety of life science, ecology, and environmental science investigators. The authors and editors have taken the care to highlight links between environmental microbiology and topics important to our changing world such as bioterrorism and national security with sections on practical issues such as bioremediation, waterborne pathogens, microbial risk assessment, and environmental biotechnology.

The book is a very good general reference. It does not cover topics very deep but it gives you a good start of all the things to keep in mind. It is a good book to follow a class.

I got this book for a Graduate level class. It is interesting and very good as an introduction to a lot of techniques for analyzing microbial communities in various environments.
