It examines both basic theory as well as the latest advancements in practical applications, including nutrient removal and recovery, methanogenesis, suspended growth bioreactors, and more. The information is presented in a very user-friendly manner; it is not assumed that readers are already experts in the field. It also offers a brief history of how microbiology relates to sanitary practice, and examines the lessons learned from the great epidemics of the past. Numerous worked example problems are presented in every chapter.Microbial ecologyMicrobial ecology.579.17Haug Roger Tim151180OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910956766403321Lessons in Environmental Microbiology4491170UNINA
