"The collection brings together concepts from autoecological studies of individual bacterial groups and from ecological studies of microbial assemblages." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 2 June 2001)
"useful resource for everybody working in this fieldwell-written material and simple and lucid illustrationswould serve as an great primary source of information on virtually any aspects of marine microbial ecology." (Choice Vol. 38, No. 9 May 2001)
"this is an great bookwill serve as an authoritative source on bacterial life in the water columnI recommend it warmly to anyone interested in biological oceanography and the microbial life in the sea." (Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, Vol. 269, 2002)

Product Description
Microbial Ecology of the Oceans, 2nd Edition reviews the basics of marine microbiology, provides a foundation for researchers and students new to the field, and looks at the important issues in modern ocean microbial ecology. Explore the latest advances in biological and chemical oceanography and limnology and understand the role of marine microbes and viruses in the oceans. Like the successful first edition, this updated and revised text combines concepts from autoecological studies of individual bacterial groups and from ecological studies of microbial assemblages in the oceans.
Reader ReviewsThis book presents most "hot" topics in today's marine microbiology. Background, current research and future directions for each area are described by top scientists. Easy to read and understand; clear graphs and figures; lots of references. I am a Ph.D. student in marine science and find that book very useful. It's a summary and review of what every student should know about marine microbiology. It's a must-have.
