	Ground-Water Microbiology And Geochemistry by Francis H. Chapelle
	Price : Rs 1195.00

Soil and groundwater contain many populations of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and viruses) and the growth, metabolism and ecology of these microorganisms have major consequences in determining the geochemical environment. The oxygen, nitrogen, iron and sulfur cycles all affected. Microbial process are particularly valuable and much studied because they can be used in restoring environments that have been contaminated: they are able to break down petroleum hydrocarbons, metabolize halogenated organic compounds, control sewage effluent effects and immobilize or remobilize metal contaminants.
