Environmental Mecrobiology For Engineers Hardcover

This textbook helps engineering students understand how microbiology is used in environmental research and practical applications. It's designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in civil and environmental engineering, covering both basic and applied principles. The book explores the microbiology of water, wastewater, soil, and air treatment systems, as well as civil engineering topics like biocementation, biocorrosion, biofouling, and material deterioration. It assumes little to no prior biology knowledge and provides an up-to-date introduction to current trends in environmental microbiology and engineering. The book also presents microbial classification as a periodic table, highlighting theoretical connections between prokaryotic groups and their environmental applications. It includes chapter quizzes, tutorials, and exam questions, with a separate solutions manual available for instructors.
