Feature Summary
- The book consistently links the fundamental principles of microbiological processes to their
practical applications.- The book features many example problems that illustrate the step-by-step procedures for
utilizing the tools in order to understand how microbial systems work or to design a treatment
process.- Each chapter consists of many problems that can be assigned as "homework," used as
supplemental examples in class, or used as study tools. The problems range in scope. Some
are simple, requiring only a single calculation or a short expository answer, while others require many steps.- The text describes the traditional applications (eg.: activated sludge and anaerobic digestion)
and the emerging applications(eg.: bioremediation and drinking-water treatment).
