    About Book

    Welcome to the world of microorganisms and their environments. The book "Environmental Microbiology" is for students, teachers, researchers, and scientists. The purpose of this book is to introduce you to the many facts of microbial life on this planet and to show you that Earth's ecosystems and microbes are closely correlated.
    Most people think of microorganisms or microbes as harmful, causing disease or just stinking up the refrigerator. However, the earth reality is that most microbes keep humans alive and healthy on Earth. Microbes indeed rule the world! 
    The availability of next-generation genetic sequencing technologies has revolutionized the field of environmental microbiology. The field is now focused on linking community structure with the processes occurring within the ecosystem. This book provides an in-depth overview of the role of microbes in the functioning of Earth's ecosystem. Moreover, the book is comprehendible, well organized, tightly linked and pedagogically robust. Thus, both students and instructors will benefit from this learning tool.
    The book covers the syllabus of environmental microbiology in all public and private universities in India and Bangladesh.
