Manual of Environmental Microbiology

The field of environmental microbiology addresses one of the world’s most important areas of scientific research: the roles that microbes play in all planetary environments. The Manual of Environmental Microbiology, Fourth Edition, provides a comprehensive analysis of these critical environments. 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.

The Manual is an essential reference for environmental microbiologists, microbial ecologists, and environmental engineers, as well as those interested in human diseases, water and wastewater treatment, and biotechnology.
