The continuing interaction between these living organisms and the environment, combined with their exploitation by man are shaping the material world today. Over the last few years our understanding has increased considerably due to the development of new technology and the emergence of new paradigms which have enabled the microbiologist to view the microbial world, and its significance to life, with new eyes. Combining the basics of science with the most up–to–date new material, and incorporating high quality photographs and graphics, this book will be valuable as a textbookand reference guide for students and professionals. Wide ranging and up–to–date. Text and reference use. Superb colour illustrations and diagrams.
