Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology is inherently a complex subject. It consists of an integration of many varied disciplines, such as biology, microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, physical science, economics, and political science. The problem in writing such a book is to emphasize the true complexity of the subject without making the book itself complex or hard to read and understand. The overall pedagogic strategy is to use a principles-oriented approach. Important concepts are introduced, and the relationships among these concepts are discussed. It has been the main aim to offer logical, orderly sequences of presentation and to avoid awkward breaks in the continuity. Therefore, the material has been arranged so that the presentation can be individualized to suit the particular course objectives. It is an adequate text for all requirements in this area for most university students.
