Description and Table of Contents
Description
This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of microbial interactions with the major forms of hydrocarbons, oils, and lipids in or entering the biosphere. It is the definitive resource on the physiological mechanisms and adaptive strategies characteristic of the microbial lifestyle that plays out at hydrophobic material: aqueous liquid interfaces.
