\ BooknewsA graduate textbook or reference for specialists in academia or industry in which Wackett (biochemistry, molecular biology and biophysics, and biological processes) and Hershberger (biological processes) (both U. of Minnesota-St. Paul) explore the fundamental concepts of the microbial transformation of organic compounds and its applications in biotechnology and biodegradation. They frame such questions as what the extent of microbial metabolism on Earth is, what microorganisms participate in certain types of metabolic transformations, and how best to define microbial metabolism in light of widespread genome sequencing.
