During this period,molecular genetics has become a valuable source of new techniquesfor the detection of microorganisms, the degradation of hazardouschemicals, and as a means of safely controlling agricultural pests.Environmental Microbiology offers an in-depth examination of therole of microbiological processes related to environmentaldeterioration. Emphasizing new approaches, this book investigatesthe complex microbial processes involved in both the contaminationof water, soil, the atmosphere, and the stratosphere, and pollutioncontrol. This comprehensive text addresses such topics as:\u003cbr\u003e * Effects of acid deposition on microbial processes in waters\u003cbr\u003e * Microbial transport of toxic metals\u003cbr\u003e * Transport of pathogens through soils and aquifers\u003cbr\u003e * Microbial processes in coastal pollution\u003cbr\u003e * Bioremediation of organic contaminants in the subsurface\u003cbr\u003e * Microbial control of plant disease\u003cbr\u003e * Composting in the context of municipal solid wastemanagement.\u003cbr\u003e Environmental Microbiology will be of interest to microbiologists,chemists, and environmental and chemical engineers.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePartial table of contents:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bacteria in the Greenhouse: Modeling the Role of Oceanic Planktonin the Global Carbon Cycle (H.
