Survival and Dormancy of Microorganisms

By Survival and Dormancy of Micro

Survival and dormancy of microorganisms has attracted the attention of microbiologists of all disciplines, resulting in a continuous exponential accumulation of mainly descriptive data on the activities of microorganisms in different environments. Increasing specialization in biology in general, and microbiology in particular, has led to the isolation of microbiologists working on different groups of microorganisms. This timely volume brings together microbial ecologists of different backgrounds to discuss factors affecting survival and dormancy in a wide variety of microorganisms. Presents several views of microbial ecology, giving the reader a thorough understanding of microbial survival and dormancy. Authors discuss the mechanisms that underlie microbial activity and the interactions between microorganisms that affect survival and dormancy in the natural environment.
