Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Aquatic Microbiology: An ecological approach is organized by habitat, from freshwater and salt--water to extreme and anthropogenic systems. It offers new insights into the differing rates of microbes in various aquatic habitats, their relative abundance and growth rates, and their contribution to the biochemical cycling of elements.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
