Environmental microbiology : current technology and water applications / edited by Keya Sen and Nicholas J. Ashbolt. - Norfolk : Caister Academic, c2011. - x, 316 p. : ill. ; 26 cm.
1. The needle in a haystack: detection of microbes in source and drinking water by molecular methods--2. Taking the hay out of the haystack: collecting and processing water samples--3.The coming together of the sciences: Biosensors for the detection of waterborne pathogens using antibodies and gene based recognition chemistries--4. Simple, powerfull, and smart: Using LAMP for low-cost screening of multiple waterborne pathogens--5. Challenges of multiplexed detection: Detection of pathogens in water and wastewater using microarrays--6. Discovering new pathogens: Amoebae as tools to isolate Amoeba-resisting microorganisms from environmental samples--7. Identity and function of single miicobilal cells within a community--8. Are they alive? Detection of viable organisms and functional gene expressions using molecular techniques--9.Characterization of microbial structures in recreational waters and primary sources of faecal pollution with a next generationsequencing approach--10. Microbial source tracking: current and future molecular tools in microbial water quality forensics--11. Dynamics of microbes in the natural setting: development of the geochip--12. The microbe as a reporter: Microbial bioreporter sensing technologies for chemical and biological detection.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
With contributions from a broad range of leading researchers, this book focuses on current technology and its applications. Although aimed primarily at research scientists and graduate students in water microbiology, the topics and techniques are equally applicable to all branches of environmental microbiology.
