Conveniently divided into four parts, the first section looks at methods involved in sampling environmental microorganisms, the second profiles different methods for investigating the diversity and composition of microbial communities, the third focuses on techniques for analyzing biological activities in situ, and the final section examines high throughput 'omics' approaches for the characterization of environmental microbial communities. This book was written as part of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, and, as such, chapters contain introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Fully updated and authoritative, Environmental Microbiology: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition aims to provide an unprecedented glimpse into the structure, composition, and activity of microbial communities across diverse environments and illuminate their impact on global ecological processes Analysis microbial flora microbial activities milieuwetenschappen environmental sciences milieutechniek environmental engineering levenswetenschappen life sciences microbiologie microbiology microbial ecology genomica genomics Microbiology (General) Biological Techniques Microbiologie (algemeen) Biologische technieken Notes Includes index Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 17, 2014) Subject Microbial ecology -- Laboratory manuals Microbiology.
