Section 7 discusses air which serve to transport microbes with their toxic by- products.Section 8 addresses biotransformation and biodegradation
N2  - This manual represents the current state of knowledge in the field of environmental microbiology. The basic principles of environmental microbiology and general analytic methodologies are introduced. The book then details the life course of microorganisms in the environment and describes attempts to eradicate those seen as pathogenic. Core sections are structured with regard to the type of environmental medium being discussed. Intended for university, industry, and government scientists as well as those who regularly conduct environmental monitoring and consulting, it will also serve as an important text for advanced level courses in environmental microbiology and microbial ecology
