MARINE MICROBIOLOGY ecology & applications

Features • Provides an understanding of microbial biology and ecology with consideration of the applications for environmental management, human welfare, health, and economic activity in the marine environment.

Second Edition

Colin Munn Marine Microbiology brings together microbial biology and ecology to create an integrated approach that addresses environmental management, human health, and economic concerns. The Second Edition takes into account many new discoveries in the field including the role of microbes in ocean processes and nutrient cycles, the importance of viruses, the beneficial role of marine microbes in biotechnology, biofuels, metagenomics and synthetic biology, and new research on the impact of climate change and ocean acidification.

A sample chapter and the complete set of figures from the book in JPEG format will be available at www.garlandscience.com

• Comprehensively updated throughout with new features, format, and layout.

• Includes new ‘Research Focus’ boxes which explore in detail topical areas of investigation.

• Integrates ‘Information’ boxes and ‘Question’ boxes throughout the text which encourages the reader to think about an important issue where knowledge is incomplete or there are differences of opinion.

Contents

The first of three sections reviews the main features of the marine environment and key aspects of marine microbial life; the second section examines the role of marine microorganisms in ecology; and the final section considers some of the applications of this knowledge in areas such as disease and biodegradation.

Marine Microbiology is ideally suited for upper level undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers.

THE AUTHOR Dr Colin Munn currently teaches courses in general and marine microbiology, biological oceanography, and contemporary developments in biosciences at the University of Plymouth, and pathogenic microbiology at the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry. He is a reviewer for several international journals and grant bodies and the author of numerous scientific papers, conference contributions, and book chapters.

PRE-PUBLICATION REVIEWS “I think this is an excellent book and it seems to me that this second edition will be even better, since it includes remarkable improvements” Dr Josefa Antón University of Alicante, Spain

“I really like the way that the book gives the students a bit of information on a lot of current topics without getting too detailed and then gives them the focus boxes and references to follow up on topics that interest them.”

Dr Diane McDougald University of New South Wales, Australia

“...it is about as perfect as any text could get.”

Associate Professor Leigh Owens James Cook University, Australia

“I like the proposed structure and the contents of the chapters, the book will cover a wide range of topics. Looking forward to seeing it.”

Dr Hendrik Schäfer University of Warwick, UK

“The second edition of the book appears to contain all of the most important themes in contemporary marine microbiology.”
