Environmental Microbiology

Environmental Microbiology, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that examines microorganisms across terrestrial, aquatic, urban, and indoor settings. The volume connects foundational microbial ecology to applied topics in life sciences and environmental protection.

Core areas of study link microbial systems to biogeochemical cycling, bioremediation, pathogen transmission, and microbial risk assessment. The text also addresses engineered processes, detailing drinking water treatment and reuse alongside the land application of organic residuals.

Designed for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and environmental professionals, the book reinforces concepts using real-world case studies, information boxes, and chapter review questions.
