Introduction to Geomicrobiology

This text is well illustrated with clear, informative and well-described diagrams and some splendid electron micrographs with convincing evidence for mineral deposition by bacterial action. A good index and up-to-date references make this a book that undergraduates of any biological discipline could use as an introductory text that would be useful throughout their course.Times Higher Education Supplement "Introduction to Geomicrobiology is a thorough and informative overview of the subject and is comprehensively referenced throughout. It is aimed at undergraduates in the later stages of their courses and for whom it will be a valuable introduction to the subject, to graduate students in earth and biological sciences, and research scientists from a range of backgrounds. Dr Konhauser has done an excellent job in integrating the diverse aspects of geomicrobiology and making them accessible and interesting to such a wide range of readers."European Journal of Soil Science "The most comprehensive general book in geomicrobiology, showing the great advances made in geomicrobiology during the past few years ... Packed with information."Journal of Sedimentary Research "I would recommend this book to any upper undergraduate / graduate students who wish to study geomicrobiology, as well as to researchers in geomicrobiology who may find here either a nice way to fill possible gaps in their knowledge or a starting point for new research."Journal of Sedimentary Research
