AQUATIC MICROBIOLOGY, 4th Edition

Rheinheimer, G. 1991

New, edition of the classical text translated from the East German (University of Kiel) school of microbiology. Professor Rheinheimer writes in a style of high information packed density, addressing aquatic microorganisms, their classification and description. Inclusive of: freshwater and marine bacteria, fungi,virus, and cyanophytes. Chapters of interest to aquaculturists cover the influence of physical, chemical and biological properties, the role of bacteria and fungi in the cycling of elements in water, and their role in sedimentation. The contents are highly educational in areas of great significance to aquatic husbandry. Hardbound, 363 pages, 107 figures & illustrations.

AQUATIC MICROBIOLOGY: AN ECOLOGICAL APPROACH

Edited by Ford, T.E. 1993

This text reveals the important breakthroughs and enormous growth in knowledge about aquatic microbes in diverse habitats, from rivers and marshes to the deep sea. It takes an ecological perspective, that is - what types are where, how many there are, what are they doing, how they survive, what controls their activity and numbers, and what role they play in the large cycles of carbon, trace gases, and nutrients. Written for researchers and advanced students in ecology or microbiology, the text is also instructive for aquatic biologists, environmental engineers, and aquaculture scientists. Sections include: Advances in Methodology, Microorganisms in Lakes, Groundwater, Wetlands, Rivers, Salt-Marsh, Estuaries, Marine Environments, Pelagic Microbial Food Webs, Biogeochemistry of Dissolved Organic Carbon, and Microbial Ecology of Waste Water Treatment. Hardbound, 518 pages, extensive illustrations & figures.

MAINTENANCE OF MICROORGANISMS AND CULTURED CELLS: A MANUAL OF LABORATORY METHODS, 2nd Edition

Edited by: Kirsop, B.E., Doyle, A. 1994

This essential "bench top manual" contains all of the information necessary for the preservation or propagation of microorganisms. Methodology applying to algae, bacteria, fungi, protozoans and yeasts are included. Maintenance of animal and plant tissue cultures are further detailed. Aquaculturists can gain from the algal culture sections. Fish health specialists, pathobiologists and veterinarians can learn concise methods for the isolation and culture of pathogens for antibiotic or other therapeutant sensitivity tests. Maintenance and propagation of animal cell lines and plant tissue cultures are discussed in two final chapters. This welcomed edition to the culture and maintenance of microorganisms and cells provides instant access to information in a practical and well organized format. Suitable for aquaculturists, microbiologists, immunologists, larval nutritionists, and biotechnologists. Softbound, 308 pages, 17 illustrations and 25 tables.
