Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book offers a comprehensive treatment of anaerobes, a common and important group of microbes which thrive where oxygen is absent. It details significant aspects of anaerobe physiology, especially those relevant to geochemical cycles and biodegradation. Also included are discussions of their habitats and the characteristics of key groups of anaerobes.
