CHOICE Review

This is a volume that all working microbiologists will want on their shelves. Instead of searching through the Baltimore Biological Laboratory's BBL Manual of Products and Laboratory Procedures (5th ed., 1968), the Difco Laboratories' Difco Manual (10th ed., 1985), and other manuals for the formulas for various media, all can be found in this one volume. Atlas begins with A1 Broth and, 1,016 pages later, ends with Zymomonas sucrose medium. All the media are alphabetized, and similar media with different names and identical compositions can easily be found in the index. The information compiled is easily accessed and should save time for the user. Nevertheless, this reviewer has one personal complaint--media recipes are always given with the condition: "autoclave for 15 minutes at 15 psi--121DGC"; it would be sufficient to state: "autoclave at 121DGC." For all college and university reference shelves. Upper-division undergraduate through professional. R. F. Gehrig; Russell Sage College
