Description
Microbes catalyze countless chemical reactions in nature which control the chemistry of the environment. Aquatic Geomicrobiology
looks at these reactions and their effect on the aquatic environments from the perspective of the microbes involved. The volume begins
with three introductory chapters outlining the basic principles of microbial systematics, microbial ecology, and chemical thermodynamics.
These provide a framework for exploring the microbial control of elemental cycling in the remaining chapters. Readers will learn how
microbes control the cycling of elements, the structure of the microbial ecosystems involved, and what environmental factors influence
the activities of microbial populations.
Audience
Postgraduates and researchers in marine biology, fisheries science, ecology, zoology, and oceanography
