For microbiology and environmental microbiology courses, this leading textbook builds on the academic success of the previous edition by including a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of environmental microbiology as a discipline that has grown in scope and interest in recent years. From environmental science and microbial ecology to topics in molecular genetics, this edition relates environmental microbiology to the work of a variety of life science, ecology, and environmental science investigators. The authors and editors have taken the care to highlight links between environmental microbiology and topics important to our changing world such as bioterrorism and national security with sections on practical issues such as bioremediation, waterborne pathogens, microbial risk assessment, and environmental biotechnology.

WHY ADOPT THIS EDITION? New chapters on:

  • Urban Environmental Microbiology
  • Bacterial Communities in Natural Ecosystems
  • Global Change and Microbial Infectious Disease
  • Microorganisms and Bioterrorism
  • Extreme Environments (emphasizing the ecology of these environments)
  • Aquatic Environments (now devoted to its own chapter- was combined with Extreme Environments)

Updates to Methodologies:

  • Nucleic Acid -Based Methods: microarrays, phyloarrays, real-time PCR, metagomics, and comparative genomics
  • Physiological Methods: stable isotope fingerprinting and functional genomics and proteomics-based approaches
  • Microscopic Techniques: FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization) and atomic force microscopy
  • Cultural Methods: new approaches to enhanced cultivation of environmental bacteria
  • Environmental Sample Collection and Processing: added section on air sampling

Yazar hakkında (2009)

Dr. Ian Pepper is a Regents Professor at the University of Arizona and also the Director of the University of Arizona Water and Energy Sustainable Technology Center (WEST). He is an environmental microbiologist whose research has focused on the fate and transport of microbial pathogens in air, water, soils and municipal wastes. His expertise has been recognized by membership on six National Academy of Sciences Committees. Dr. Pepper is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Academy of Microbiology, the Soil Science Society of America, and the American Society of Agronomy. He is the author or co-author of seven textbooks and over 200 peer-reviewed journal articles. Dr. Charles P. Gerba is a Professor at the University of Arizona. He conducts research the transmission of pathogens through the environment. His recent research encompasses the transmission of pathogens by water, food and fomites; fate of pathogens in land applied wastes; development of new disinfectants; domestic microbiology and microbial risk assessment. He has been an author on more than 500 articles including several books in environmental microbiology and pollution science. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1998 he received the A. P. Black Award from the American Water Works Association for outstanding contributions to water science and in 1996 he received the McKee medal from the Water Environment Federation for outstanding contributions to groundwater protection. He received the 1999 Award of Excellence in Environmental Health from National Association of County and City Health Officials.
