Microbial Diversity: Form and function in Prokaryotes
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book offers the first comprehensive, in-depth treatment of microbial diversity for undergraduate and graduate students. Using a global approach, Microbial Diversity illustrates the impact of microorganisms on ecological and Earth system phenomena. Beginning with a detailed treatment of key concepts and methods, including the nature of prokaryotic species and the use of microscopic, culture, molecular, and phylogenetic systematic methods, it then focuses on environmental evolution, biogeochemical cycling, species interactions, and the linkage between microbial diversity and global environmental change.The book is accompanied by a dedicated website at www.blackwellpublishing.com/ogunseitan with resources for both instructors and students, including:- downloadable artwork (also available to instructors on CD-ROM)- instructor tips for each chapter, sample syllabi, and sample chapters- animations, interactive exercises, links to web resources and further reading.Combining molecular, genetic, physiological, and ecological knowledge, the book presents recent advances in this growing field and connects microbial diversity with ecology and evolution. Microbial Diversity will be a vital resource, as well as an essential text for classroom use.
