Summary
Geomicrobiology can be defined as the influence of microorganisms on geologic processes and is probably the most rapidly growing area of microbiology, combining environmental and molecular microbiology together with significant areas of mineralogy, geochemistry and hydrology. This volume provides an overview of the subject for graduate students and researchers
