Microbial Ecology of Elaeagnus latifolia L.

Microbial ecology, or environmental microbiology, is a field that studies the interactions between microorganisms and their environment, including viruses and the three primary domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryota. Microorganisms are a significant carbon sink and control biogeochemical processes, including carbon fixation, nitrogen fixation, sulfur metabolism, and methane metabolism. This book covers the ecological activities of microorganisms and the diversity of isolated microflora in the plant species Elaeagnus latifolia L., focusing on the interactions between bacteria in their respective environments and communities. The book is aimed at undergraduate, postgraduate students, and young researchers in the fields of natural sciences, microbiology, and ecology, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of the richness of the microbial world and the issues being investigated by microbial ecologists studying various microorganisms and processes in various habitats and species.
