Environmental Microbiology Methods and Protocols

The methods included in Environmental Microbiology: Methods and Protocols can be placed in the categories “Communities and Biofilms,” “Fermented Milks,” “Recovery and Determination of Nucleic Acids,” and the review section, containing chapters on the endophytic bacterium, Bacillus mojavensis, the engineering of bacteria to enhance their ability to carry out bioremediation of aromatic compounds, using the hemoglobin gene from a strain of Vitreoscilla spp., and the use of chemical shift reagents and 23Na NMR to study sodium gradients in microorganisms, all of which should be of interest to investigators in these fields.
