It provides the readers a concise resource describing factors that are critical for several different predatory microbes, including Myxobacterium spp. and Bdellovibrio­-and-like organisms (BALOs), including the mechanisms involved, ecological conditions that adversely impact it and potential applications in aquaculture and bioproduction. The first half of this collection focuses more on ecological aspects of predation, with in-depth discussions on “wolf pack” predators, the presence and activities of predators in waste-water treatment plants and the role of intraguild predatory relationships, i.e., when two different predators are competing for a single prey but also interact with one another. The reader will gain a deeper understanding of the predatory mechanisms involved and their ecological roles. In the latter half, emphasis is given more to the application and limitations of predators. In addition to discussing secondary metabolite production within different microbial predators, the readers will also learn how predators are being used to purify secondary metabolites from prey. This section also discusses the expanding and promising role of predation in aquaculture, focusing on the application of predators to reduce pathogenic populations, but includes some important caveats for young researchers to consider and follow when working with Bdellovibrio. This work is written for both experienced researchers already in the field and for young scientists who are captivated by the thought of predation at the microscale and its growing importance within a wide-array of fields. .Microbial ecologyMarine sciencesFreshwaterWater pollutionMicrobial Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082Marine & Freshwater Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U36000Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040Predació (Biologia)thubEcologia microbianathubLlibres electrònicsthubMicrobial ecology.Marine sciences.Freshwater.Water pollution.Microbial Ecology.Marine & Freshwater Sciences.Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.Predació (Biologia)Ecologia microbiana579.17Jurkevitch Edouardedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMitchell Robert Jedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409686403321The Ecology of Predation at the Microscale2495846UNINA
