Environmental microbiology: fundamentals and applications
Écologie microbienne: microbiologie des milieux naturels et anthropisés. English
This book is a treatise on microbial ecology that covers traditional and cutting-edge issues in the ecology of microbes in the biosphere. It emphasizes on study tools, microbial taxonomy and the fundamentals of microbial activities and interactions within their communities and environment as well as on the related food web dynamics and biogeochemical cycling. The work exceeds the traditional domain of microbial ecology by revisiting the evolution of cellular prokaryotes and eukaryotes and stressing the general principles of ecology. The overview of the topics, authored by more than 80 specialists, is one of the broadest in the field of environmental microbiology.
Part 1 -- General chapters -- Part 2 -- Taxonomy and evolution -- Part 3 -- Microbial habitats -- Part 4 -- Role and functioning of microbial ecosystems -- Part 5 -- Tools of microbial ecology.
