This volume explores new developments in our understanding of the control and prevention of complex microbial processes underlying environmental deterioration. Topics cover a wide range of environments in air, water and soil. Emphasis is on the description of how techniques in molecular genetics are applied to the detection of micro-organisms, degradation of hazardous chemicals, and control of agricultural pests and environmental contaminants.
