Bacterial Biogeochemistry: The Ecophysiology of Mineral Cycling de Tom Fenchel

Bacterial Biogeochemistry: The Ecophysiology of Mineral Cycling

Autor Tom Fenchel, Henry Blackburn, Gary M. King
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 mai 1998
Bacterial Biogeochemistry, Second Edition focuses on bacterial metabolism and its relevance to the environment, including the decomposition of soil, food chains, nitrogen fixation, assimilation and reduction of carbon nitrogen and sulfur, and microbial symbiosis. The scope of the new edition has broadened to provide a historical perspective, and covers in greater depth topics such as bioenergetic processes, characteristics of microbial communities, spacial heterogeneity, transport mechanisms, microbial biofilms, extreme environments and evolution of biogeochemical cycles.

Key Features* Provides up-to-date coverage with an enlarged scope, a new historical perspective, and coverage in greater depth of topics of special interest* Covers interactions between microbial processes, atmospheric composition and the earth's greenhouse properties* Completely rewritten to incorporate all the advances and discoveries of the last 20 years

Recenzii

"The authors of this book have succeeded with such a synthesis by creating a current, accurate and lucid review of bacterial biogeochemistry. The 10 chapters of this book describe, in logical order, the myriad of biogeochemical reactions in soils, aqueous systems and the atmosphere that are mediated by prokaryotic organisms. Throughout each chapter the fundamentals of microbial processes are presented in a way that allows for easy extrapolation to applied problems, including environmental concerns. This book would serve as a valuable resource for all those, students to professionals, who require an accurate, current, yet broadly based review of this rapidly evolving discipline." --SGM QUARTERLY
