Review: Environmental microbiology is the study of microorganisms that exist in natural or artificial environments. Microbial life is amazingly diverse and microorganisms literally cover the planet. This updated large volume with hundreds of contributors (207), aims to summarize environmental microbiology in one book. The volume is arranged according to the environmental medium being discussed: water (in public health; the aquatic environment); soil, rhizosphere and phyllosphere; subsurface and landfills; aerobiology; with a section on biotranformation and biodegradation.
