Geomicrobiology is the study of microbes and microbial processes and their role in driving environmental and geological processes at scales ranging from the nano, micron, to meter scale. This growing field has seen major advances in recent years, largely due to the development of new analytical tools and improvements to existing techniques, which allow us to better understand the complex interactions between microbes and their surroundings. In this comprehensive handbook, expert authors outline the state-of-the-art and emerging analytical techniques used in geomicrobiology. Readers are guided through each technique including background theory, sample preparation, standard methodology, data collection and analysis, best practices and common pitfalls, and examples of how and where the technique has been applied. The book provides a practical go-to reference for advanced students, researchers and professional scientists looking to employ techniques commonly used in geomicrobiology.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Les microbes, on connaît leur existence depuis Pasteur. Pourtant, c'est depuis quelques années seulement qu'on les étudie sous leur forme d'organisation la plus répandue, celle de communautés fixées sur une surface : des biofilms. Les biofilms sont partout : dans le sol des forêts, sur les cailloux glissants des rivières, sur le verre des aquariums, sur la croûte fleurie du camembert, sur nos dents, où seul le détartrage les élimine, sur notre peau, où ils forment une barrière contre les microbes indésirables... Parfois, ils mettent notre santé en danger, causant des infections chroniques ou des maladies nosocomiales. Cependant, ils offrent aussi de multiples bénéfices, par exemple en protégeant naturellement les plantes, ou en permettant de nettoyer les eaux et les sols. Mais, direz-vous, quelle différence y a-t-il entre des microbes dispersés dans leur environnement et des biofilms ? Quelles formes prennent ces biofilms, et quels microbes y trouve-t-on ? Dans un style accessible et imagé, les auteurs nous font découvrir comment des microbes qui "dialoguent" entre eux, échangent des gènes et s'adaptent aux conditions d'une microsociété en perpétuelle évolution, acquièrent les étonnantes capacités de colonisation et de résistance caractéristiques des biofilms."
