Opis

Springer's multi-volume set on the prokaryotes now extends its leading position as the authority on the subject in this fourth, updated edition. This second volume of the multi-authored, peer-reviewed work covers prokaryotic ecophysiology and biology.

Recenzje

From the book reviews:
"This book ... edited and written by great scientists covers essential contributions on different types of prokaryotic communities as well as on the prokaryotic functions in different environments. ... This volume, as well as the whole series, should be available in every large scientific library." (Ioan I. Ardelean, Bulletin of Micro and Nanoelectrotechnologies, Vol. 5 (3-4), December, 2014)
