Practical Atlas for Bacterial Identification

By D. Roy Cullimore

Book Overview

In a radical departure from the classical reductionist identification of bacteria dominated by genetic and biochemical analysis of separated strains of bacteria, this book takes a generalistic approach utilizing the form, function, and habitat of communities of bacteria. This complete revised and updated second edition introduces the concept of bacteria community intelligence as reflected in corrosion, plugging, and shifts in the quality parameters in water, gas, oil, food, or even air. The book allows readers to start with a symptom, uncover the bacterial activities, and then identify the communities distinctly enough to allow management and control.
