Encyclopedia of Microbiology, Fourth Edition, Five Volume Set gathers both basic and applied dimensions in this dynamic field that includes virtually all environments on Earth. This range attracts a growing number of cross-disciplinary studies, which the encyclopedia makes available to readers from diverse educational backgrounds. The new edition builds on the solid foundation established in earlier versions, adding new material that reflects recent advances in the field. New focus areas include `Animal and Plant Microbiomes’ and ‘Global Impact of Microbes`. The thematic organization of the work allows users to focus on specific areas, e.g., for didactical purposes, while also browsing for topics in different areas.

Dr. Schmidt has been investigating the structure, function, and dynamics of microbial communities in natural ecosystems for over 20 years, most recently focusing on microbial communities in the human GI tract. He brings the perspective gained from being EIC of the 4th Edition of the Encyclopedia of Microbiology along with the experience he has gained studying diverse microbes and microbial communities. His research group helped pioneer the methods for culture-independent analyses of microbial communities and they continue to refine and apply those methods using ecological theories as a basis to track microbial populations in nature. In 2015, he refocused his research from agroecosystems to the human gut microbiome and is studying the impact of dietary fibers on the structure and function of human gut microbiome. His goal is to engineer the human gut microbiome to reduce inflammation, including through the use of dietary fiber supplements. Dr Schmidt guides a research laboratory that is recognized for expertise in the isolation and study of pure cultures of microbes and communities of microbes both in vitro and in vivo. Dr. Schmidt is an elected member of the American Academy for Microbiology, is a former director of the internationally acclaimed Woods Hole Microbial Diversity Course and has been awarded the Graduate Teaching Award from the American Society for Microbiology, the university wide Teacher-Scholar award at Michigan State University, and most recently the Provost’s Innovation Prize for outstanding teaching at the University of Michigan.
