Description
The First Edition of the Encyclopedia of Microbiology was hailed by leading scientists and researchers around the world
as "excellent," "outstanding," and "impressive." This Second Edition will serve as an up-to-date version of this reference
which has been useful to academic, industrial, and personal libraries for years. The Encyclopedia of Microbiology, Second Edition
both challenges and stimulates the reader, and illustrates the importance of microbiology, a field that cannot be over emphasized in
this booming biotechnology age.
Audience
Researchers, technicians, teachers and students of microbiology, biotechnology, and environmental sciences
