Microorganisms in Environmental Management

From the reviews: "The present volume is edited by prominent leaders in the field and written by well-known scientists. It comprises 35 chapters, a preface and an index, and covers many topics in environmental pollution. ... This book is very useful for all readers belonging to different scientific domains, from undergraduate to specialist level." (Ioan I. Ardelean, Romanian Journal of Biochemistry, Vol. 49 (2), 2012)
