Publisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc


The study of microbial ecology within wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) employs a diverse range of methods and techniques to investigate the intricate dynamics and evolutionary processes of microbial populations, particularly the recent advancements in molecular tools developed over the past few decades. These molecular biology-based approaches, including the analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins, offer a remarkable level of resolution in understanding the composition and behavior of microbial communities in wastewater. By employing these cutting-edge methods, researchers can gain a deeper insight into the complex interactions between microorganisms, their environment, and the treatment processes employed in WWTPs.

Moreover, this book delves into the remarkable capacity of microorganisms to degrade environmental pollutants, highlighting their crucial role in the purification of wastewater and the promotion of sustainable environmental practices. Through comprehensive coverage of various topics such as microbial community structure, metabolism, genetics, and environmental adaptation, Microbial Ecology of Wastewater Treatment Plants provides a valuable resource for researchers, students, and professionals engaged in the field of wastewater treatment and environmental microbiology.

In conclusion, the study of microbial ecology in WWTPs is a rapidly evolving field that benefits from the integration of molecular tools and techniques. By unraveling the complex interactions between microorganisms and their environment, researchers can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of WWTPs, while also contributing to the broader understanding of environmental microbiology and pollution remediation.
