This new book presents the latest research in environmental microbiology which is area of interaction that studies the interaction of microorganisms with the environment. It includes the structure, activities and communal behaviour of microbial communities, microbial interactions and interactions with plants, animals and non-living environmental factors, population biology and clonal structure microbes and surfaces, adhesion and biofouling responses to environmental signals and stress factors growth and survival, modelling and theory development, microbial community genetics and evolutionary processes, microbial physiological, metabolic and structural diversity, pollution microbiology, extremophiles and life in extreme and unusual little-explored habitats, primary and secondary production, element cycles and biogeochemical processes and microbially-influenced global changes.
Preface; Evaluation and Verification of Soil Remediation; Disinfection of Empty Animal Houses-Scientific Evidence for Applied Procedures; Natural Bacterial Biofilms in the Environment; Microbial and Chemical Assays to Determine the Origin of Faecal Pollution and the Presence of Waterborne Pathogens; The Effects of Fine Scale Environmental Variation on Microbial Community Structure and Function in Aquatic Environments; Changes of Marine Bacterial Populations in a Ship's Ballast Water and Sediment, and Application of Shock Pressures to Complete Killing of Vibrio Sp. Cells Isolated from Ballast Water; Biodiversity and Ecology of Eukaryotic Organisms in Extreme Acidic Environments, the Rio Tinto Case; Are Rhizobium and Soil Enzyme Activities Good Indicators of Heavy Metal Soil Contamination; Virus-Binding Proteins in the Water Environments -- Natural Ligands for Human Viruses; Advances in Marine Bacterial Pollution Monitoring; Index.
