Product Description
Biologists and zoologists have the luxury of being readily able to view, touch, measure and observe the life cycles of their organisms of interest without great difficulty. For bacteriologists such tangible examinations are denied. Only recently has it become possible to build up an understanding of the nature of these communities of bacteria.Once water in a well is infected it is important for the environmental engineer to isolate and identify the bacteria present … More >>
Product Description
The knowledge of isolation and identification of bacteria from aquatic animals and the aquatic environment is expanding at a rapid rate. New organisms, be they pathogens, environmental, normal flora, or potential probiotics, are being described and reported each month. This has resulted due to increases in aquaculture research, in intensive fish farming systems, and in the international trade of live aquatic animals and products as well as the emergence of new dise… More >>
Product Description
In a radical departure from the classical reductionist identification of bacteria dominated by genetic and biochemical analysis of separated strains of bacteria, this book takes a generalistic approach utilizing the form, function, and habitat of communities of bacteria. This complete revised and updated second edition introduces the concept of bacteria community intelligence as reflected in corrosion, plugging, and shifts in the quality parameters in water, gas, oi… More >>
