Handbook of Aquatic Microbiology. This item is unavailable.Handbook of Aquatic Microbiology

This comprehensive handbook covers the different aspects of the aquatic environment, microbiology, and microbial applications. The world’s aquatic environment is facing a serious threat due to inappropriate planning, implementation, and management. This book compiles effective strategies for managing the aquatic environment. It highlights the role of microorganisms as pollution indicators, in bioremediation, and as bio-control agents. The book also covers the impact of pollution on microorganisms, biofilms, cyanobacterial blooms, and the metagenomics approach to isolate microbes. This book is essential for students and researchers of Microbiology, Environmental Sciences, and Biotechnology includes key themes:

1. Environmental DNA application, metagenomes, extremophiles, microbial population genetics and statistical aspects of aquatic microbiology 2 Discusses the beneficial microbes of the aquatic environment 3 Covers applications of microbes in bioremediation, as pollution indicators and as algicidal agents 4 Reviews freshwater biogeochemical cycles and sediment microbiology 5 Explores microbial communities of biofloc and microbiomes in aquaponics.
