"A wide variety of microbial community assay techniques and related analytical methods are discussed, such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction), DGGE (denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis), FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization), and various other omics techniques. Chapter texts are supported by many high-quality color figures and tables summarizing the cited references. Overall, the volume offers lots of useful information for specialists seeking brief introductory descriptions or example applications of a wide variety of techniques used in wastewater treatment."— D.
