In this well-illustrated reference, contributors summarize current
research on sulfate-reducing bacteria and examine their relationship to
biotechnology processes. This approach enables researchers to identify
and define appropriate questions for future research. Chapters examine
the biochemical and physiological characteristics of sulfate-reducing
eubacteria and archaebacteria and review environmental and industrial
activities of these bacteria. This volume features the first review on
bioremediation by sulfate-reducing bacteria.
