This book provides comprehensive, authoritative discussions about microbial communities in environments that are rich in hydrocarbons, crude oil or lipids. It encompasses natural environments, such as tar sands, oil seeps and reservoirs, as well as habitats where methane is produced. Equally, the book deals with habitats that have been influenced by human activity, including oil-contaminated soils, aquifers, coast and seas. The book opens with a series of chapters considering the contemporary approaches used to investigate microbial communities.

This book is a compilation of the most relevant molecular mechanisms and cellular processes that are involved in the infection processes in relation to lipid metabolism. The authors are international experts in the field of infection biology. Readers will understand infection metabolism and the contribution of lipids and lipid-protein interaction to lipids.Microbial lipids play an important role in almost all cellular phenomena. Microbial infections also contain an important virulence component in microbial lipids. The secretion of lipid vesicles that contain virulence factors, the assembly of lipid membrane microdomains harboring signal transduction pathways relate to infection process and the number of lipid-protein interactions that are necessary for the internalization of pathogens to host cells are some examples of the importance of lipids and lipid metabolism in the development of infections.

This fully updated new edition offers an authoritative and comprehensive exploration of microbial communities in environments that are rich in hydrocarbons, crude oil or lipids. It encompasses natural sources, such as tar sands, oil seeps and reservoirs, and habitats where methane is produced, as well as synthetic hydrocarbon-based materials like refined fuels and plastics. The impact of human activity in contaminated soils, aquifers, shorelines, and marine ecosystems is comprehensively analysed. The book opens with a series of chapters considering contemporary approaches used to investigate microbial communities, including advanced metagenomic and metatranscriptomic techniques, single-cell analyses, and stable isotope probing methods. Subsequent sections delve into specific habitats and microbial groups, examining the structure and function of microbial communities within these contexts, pursuing in some cases novel biotechnological applications.

"Water is life!" All active cellular systems require water as the medium and solvent of their metabolic activities. Hydrophobic compounds and structures, which tend to exclude water, though providing inter alia excellent sources of energy and a means of biological compartmentalization, present problems of cellular handling, poor bioavailability and, in some cases, toxicity. Microbes both synthesize and exploit a vast range of hydrophobic organics, especially petroleum oil hydrocarbons and industrial pollutants, and the underlying interactions not only have major consequences for the lifestyles of the microbes involved, but also for biogeochemistry, climate change, environmental pollution, human health and a range of biotechnological applications. The aim of this handbook is to be the definitive resource of current knowledge on the diverse and multifaceted aspects of these interactions, the microbial players, and the physiological mechanisms and adaptive strategies characteristic ofthe microbial lifestyle that plays out at hydrophobic material: aqueous liquid interfaces.
