The second edition of this book, that has been completely rewritten to
incorporate all the advances and discoveries of the last twenty years, focuses
on bacterial metabolism and its relevance to the environment, including the
decomposition of soil, food chains, nitrogen fixation, assimilation and
reduction of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur and microbial symbiosis. The scope of
the new edition has broadened to provide a new historical perspective and
covers in greater depth topics such as bioenergetic processes, characteristics
of microbial communities, spatial heterogeneity, transport mechanisms,
microbial biofilms, extreme environments and evolution of biogeochemical
cycles. It includes coverage of interactions between microbial processes,
atmospheric composition and the earth's greenhouse properties relevant to
climate change.
