    Elsevier Science 2008; US$ 79.95

    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,... more...

  • Thermophilesby Jeurgen Wiegel; Adams Michael W.W.

    CRC Press 1998; US$ 180.00

    Late-1990s developments in the study of thermophiles have had considerable significance on theories of evolution. Scientists have begun to study their biology in an attempt to provide clues about the beginnings of life on our planet. more...

  • Oral Biofilms and Plaque Controlby H J Busscher; L. V. Buckingham

    Informa Healthcare 1999; US$ 149.95

    The impact of biofilms within the dental community is apparent, with application to dental caries and periodontal diseases This volume, with contributions by international experts in the field, encompasses both fundamental and clinical aspects and thus provides a valuable reference source for information on biofilm formation and control in the oral as well as in other environments. more...

  • Biofilmsby L V Evans

    CRC Press 2000; US$ 159.95

    Presents a state-of-the-art picture of where we are at present in terms of our knowledge of biofilms, the techniques being used to study them, and possible strategies for controlling their growth more successfully. more...

  • Medical Implications of Biofilmsby Michael Wilson; Deirdre Devine

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 52.00

    As biofilms exhibit increased tolerance towards anti-microbial agents and decreased susceptibility to host defense systems, biofilm-associated diseases have become difficult to treat. New techniques have revolutionized our understanding of biofilms, resulting in advances in the prevention and treatment of biofilm-related diseases. This book presents these advances to clinicians and medical researchers. more...

  • Geomicrobiologyby Henry L. Ehrlich

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2002; US$ 239.95

    This work explores the role that microbes have played in specific geological processes - featuring findings on the expanding microbial habitat. It includes end-of-chapter summaries, more than 2800 literature citations and a glossary of key terms. more...

  • Tracking Genetically-Engineered Microorganismsby Janet K. Jansson; J. D. van Elsas

    Landes Bioscience 2000; US$ 119.00
