This comprehensive new text presents an overall picture of aquatic microbiology with emphasis on the interrelationships between discrete ecosystems and the significance of specific microbial processes within a larger perspective. New techniques, particularly in microbial identification, are permitting tremendous advances in our understanding of microbial ecology. Aquatic Microbiology relates this new knowledge to questions central to the environmental sciences: pollution and its management; global cycles and the release of genetically-engineered organisms. The book has twenty contributed chapters, divided into three sections: freshwater, marine, and extreme and man-made systems, each with a brief introduction. The text is organized by environment, with processes related to one another illustrating large scale patterns and global cycles.
A perspective on the ecology of aquatic microbes; The advances and limitations of methodology; Distribution and activity of microorganisms in lakes: effects of physical processes; Microbial biogeochemical activities in lakes: stratification and eutrophication; The pelagic microbial food web of oligotrophic lakes; Attached microbial communities in rivers; Biogeochemistry of dissolved organic carbon entering streams; Ground water microbiology: subsurface ecosystem processes; Wetland and swamp microbiology; Microbial processes in salt marsh sediments; Bacterial production in estuaries; Growth limitation and starvation of bacteria; Particulate detritus and bacteria in marine environments; Interaction of nitrogen and carbon cycles in the marine environment; Microbial life in extreme environments; The air/water interface as an "extreme" environment; Microbial ecology of sewage treatment; The microbial ecology of water distribution and outfall systems; Genetic stability of genetically engineered microorganisms in the aquatic environment.
