Advances in Microbial Ecology

Advances in Microbial Ecology edited by K.C. Marshall.

The publication of Volume. 10 of Advances in Microbial Ecology repre­ sents something of a milestone in the history of modern microbial ecol­ ogy. Advances in Microbial Ecology was established by the International Committee on Microbial Ecology (ICOME) to provide a vehicle for in­ depth, critical, a...
