Riassunto

"I would strongly recommend it for library purchase and the reading list of advanced students in this field."
—Microbiology Today, May 2009

Nearly a decade since its landmark publication, this book has been thoroughly revised in this valuable new edition

Like the successful first edition, Microbial Ecology of the Oceans, Second Edition is unique and fills a void in the rapidly growing fields of marine microbiology, microbial ecology, and microbial oceanography. Here, a carefully selected team of international experts explores issues of enduring importance to microbial ecologists, including:

• Genomes and metagenomes of marine microbes
• Microbial evolution, as revealed by molecular techniques
• Microbes in carbon budgets and cycles
• Viruses and grazers of bacteria
• Microbes and N cycle reactions in sediments
• The role of microbes in food web dynamics
• Biogeochemical cycles in the ocean

In addition to drawing on the long history of microbiology, the contributors also include discussions of the latest advances in biological and chemical oceanography to examine the role of microbes and viruses in the oceans.

Richly illustrated with black-and-white photographs and drawings, and complemented with a comprehensive list of additional reading for each chapter, this important new edition provides readers with current information in the fields of marine microbiology and microbial ecology. It is designed for students and researchers in biological and chemical oceanography, geochemistry, marine chemistry, freshwater ecology, and general microbiology. It is also appropriate for professionals and advanced students in related fields.

Recensione:

"It is written for the reader with a solid background in biology and would be wonderful supplemental reading at the graduate level, with helpful definition boxes throughout and outlined summaries at the end of every chapter. The book is a well–rounded discourse of the advanced topics in marine microbial ecology. The second edition is highly recommended for professionals and graduate students in this field." (Environ Earth Sci, 2011)

"Given the state of flux in the field, this volume is the closest one can get to a classic textbook, and will be a must for students and researchers, but also for anyone interested in comparing the current state of consensus in microbial ecology with the status quo in the adjoining fields of plankton, benthos, and fish ecology." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, September 2010)"I would strongly recommend it for library purchase and the reading list of advanced students in this field." (Microbiology Today, May 2009)

"This book and its predecessor are valuable, critical overviews of the state of marine microbial ecology. They are the best current analysis of a growing and important discipline." (Oceanography, December 2008)
