CHOICE Review

A comprehensive review of prokaryotic anaerobiosis edited by an outstanding scientist in the field. The book begins with a review of the geochemistry of the anaerobic habitat, and the characteristics of organisms found in such habitats. The biochemistry and physiology of these organisms is discussed in a short, yet thorough, review. The 14 chapters were prepared by individual authors well known in their respective areas. The molecular mechanisms of a wide range of microbial reactions, including denitrification, reduction, and degradation of complex chemicals under anaerobic conditions, are thoroughly discussed. There are numerous illustrations and diagrams, and each chapter ends with an extensive and updated bibliography. The editor has prepared an outstanding volume for the field for advanced teaching in the area, as well as an outstanding source and reference book. -R. Adler, University of Michigan--Dearborn
