Description

Thoroughly updated, this e-book assembles in a single volume the most definitive information on microbes in air, water and soil and their impact on human health and welfare. It is divided into 101 chapters, each written by experts, and is separated into five general areas: basic principles of environmental microbiology, general analytical methodologies, detection of microbial activity, the impact of microbial activity on the environment and detection and control of pathogens in the environment. This Doody's "5-star" selection will serve as an indispensable reference for environmental microbiologists, microbial ecologists and environmental engineers, as well as those interested in human diseases, water and wastewater treatment and biotechnology.
