Written in accessible, clear prose, the manual covers four broad areas: general methodologies, environmental public health microbiology, microbial ecology, and biodegradation and biotransformation. This wealth of information is divided into 18 sections each containing chapters written by acknowledged topical experts from the international community.Specifically, this new edition of the ManualIncorporates a summary of the latest methodologies used to study microorganisms in various environmentsSynthesizes the latest information on the assessment of microbial presence and microbial activity in natural and artificial environmentsContains completely new sections covering microbial risk assessment, quality control, and microbial source trackingThe Manual of Environmental Microbiology 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.
