Manual of Freshwater Microbiology

Description

Freshwater Biology deals with all aspects of ecology of inland waters, including rivers and lakes, ground waters and other freshwater wetlands. It includes studies of micro-organisms like Eukaryote, Archaeans, Bacteria, Viruses as well as those concerning whole systems and related physical and chemical aspects of the environment, provided that they have clear biological relevance. They are capable of flourishing in all water habitants, from several kilometers below the sea level to the first millimeter of a shallow trench created by rainwater and into acidic lakes. They play a major role in decomposing organic matter that is produced by autotrophs in both terrestrial and aquatic systems. Also, they affect the climate change especially vertebrates, appear to be higher extinction risk from climate change. This particular book “Manual of Freshwater Microbiology” gives you the broad outlook at the rapidly expanding field of freshwater microbiology. A new information on molecular and microscopical techniques including a study of gene exchange between bacteria in the freshwater environment. Alongside, it covers microbiology, botany, zoology and agriculture.
