Anaerobic bacteria are a large and diverse group of microorganisms which occur and often predominate in a variety of natural habitats. Whilst those associated with man are relatively well documented, increasing attention is now being given to anaerobes in other situations, including animals in health and disease, foods, the aquatic environment, systems for waste digestion and methane production, and the corrosion of metal and concrete. This present book brings together a number of contributions from researchers in the above areas, and as a reference it will be of value to research workers, students and to those in relevant industrial laboratories. As well as illustrating the metabolic diversity of the organisms in question, the book gives due consideration to current problems in identification and taxonomy and to methods for isolating, characterizing and preserving anaerobes.
