Overview

This work contains the proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Microbial Growth on One-Carbon (C1) Compounds, a triennial meeting held at the University of Warwick in August 1992. The theme of the book centres around the microbiology of C1 compounds, that is, those compounds such as methane, methanol, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and covers the physiology, biochemistry and molecular genetics of the micro-organisms responsible for utilizing such compounds. It also addresses a number of important ecological and environmental aspects of C1 microbes, organisms which are certain to play a role in the cycling of important greenhouse-gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. The impact of these organisms on a global scale, for example, as a source or sink for methane is discussed. The numerous applied and biotechnological aspects of these micro-organisms is also dealt with in detail. Each section is written by a specialist in the field and offers a comprehensive review of the latest developments on all aspects of microbiology of C1 compounds. The book is intended to appeal to a very wide microbiological and technical audience and is also intended to serve as the most current reference text for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. It should also be of interest to many industrialists and biotechnologists and environmental engineers with an interest in bioremediation. The book contains over 40 contributions from the UK, USA, Germany, Japan, USSR, The Netherlands and other countries.
