AQUATIC MICROBIAL ECOLOGY

Aquatic microbial ecology, a growing interdisciplinary field, has become increasingly compartmentalized in recent years. The aim of this volume is to propose a framework for biochemical and molecular approaches, which are employed ever more widely in studies of aquatic microbial communities and ecosystem functioning. The book presents state of the art applications of modern molecular research techniques to a range of topics in ectoenzymes microbial carbon metabolism bacterial population dynamics RNA chemotaxonomy of microbial communities plasmids and adaptation to environmental conditions. Written for limnologists, marine biologists, and all researchers interested in environmental microbiology and molecular aspects of ecology, this volume will provide a stimulating introduction to this emerging field.

水生微生物生态学是一个新兴的交叉学科领域，近年来日益分化。本卷的目的是为生物化学和分子方法提出一个框架，这些方法越来越广泛地用于研究水生微生物群落和生态系统功能。本书介绍了现代分子研究技术在体外酶、微生物碳代谢、细菌种群动态、RNA化学分类、微生物群落、质粒和适应环境条件等方面的最新应用。为湖泊学家、海洋生物学家和所有对环境微生物学和生态学分子方面感兴趣的研究人员编写的这本书，将为这个新兴领域提供一个令人兴奋的介绍。
