Description: Microbial Ecology of the Oceans, 2nd Edition reviews the basics of marine microbiology, provides a foundation for researchers and students new to the field, and examines the important issues in modern ocean microbial ecology. Explore the latest advances in biological and chemical oceanography and limnology and understand the role of marine microbes and viruses in the oceans. Like the successful first edition, this updated and revised text combines concepts from autoecological studies of individual bacterial groups and from ecological studies of microbial assemblages in the oceans.

Review Summary: Excellent book!
Date: 2008-10-01
Details: This book presents most "hot" topics in today's marine microbiology. Background, current research and future directions for each area are described by top scientists.
Easy to read and understand; clear graphs and figures; lots of references.
I am a Ph.D. student in marine science and find that book very useful. It's a summary and review of what every student should know about marine microbiology. It's a must-have.
Review Summary: An excellent, well-integrated book
Date: 2000-11-14
Details: "An excellent, well-integrated book that ranges from marine viruses to filamentous cyanophyceans and treats the processes mediated by them. The aerobic heterotrophic bateria in the open ocean and the biogeochemcial role of the assemblages are emphasized in most of the 16 chapters. The authors, none of them a 'pure' microbiologist but all attuned to biogeochemical questions, provide modern reviews of the basics, but ample space is given to open issues. About two-thirds of the very many references date from 1990 to 1999." --Karl Banse, University of Washington
Review Summary: Expert Review
Date: 2000-05-17
Details: "Microbial Ecology of the Oceans" presents timely and up-to-date reviews of various aspects of microbial ecology of the marine water column....Well-written and authoritative chapters should make it useful as a text for advanced courses and for graduate students. Altogether, I can warmly recommend it to anyone interested in microbial ecology and biological oceanography."
--Tom Fenchel, Marine Biological Laboratory, University of Copenhagen
