About

Overview

In recent years, the field of environmental microbiology has taken on new importance. But even with a wealth of new research and new interest in the subject, there has never been a single resource to which professionals and students could turn for reliable, detailed coverage of the field. This six-volume set serves as a comprehensive look at the field complete with the latest cutting-edge research. The Encyclopedia of Environmental Microbiology provides, in one source, all the information researchers and scientists need for this rapidly growing field. It covers the full range of topics, from aquatic microbiology and environmental biotechnology, to public health and water treatment microbiology. Features include:

  • Approximately 350 articles provide A-Z coverage of the entire field of environmental microbiology and all important topics
  • Extensive cross-referencing, bibliographies, and a complex index
  • Illustrated with photographs, tables, and line drawings
