This text is concerned with applications of molecular biology techniques to aquatic microbiology and demonstrates the potential to solve some intractable problems. It deals with topics ranging from the ability of molecular techniques to characterize assemblages of microorganisms which cannot be cultured, to novel ways to measure rates of production. In addition to the chapters which emphasize the molecular approach, a number of contributions highlight the important processes that are making rapid progress.
