The field of water and wastewater microbiology has advanced dramatically in recent years, spurred by growing awareness about health and environmental impacts. These advances have been thoroughly integrated into the Fourth Edition of Wastewater Microbiology, widely regarded as the field's definitive text reference. In this Fourth Edition, the book focuses more exclusively on issues particular to…
Microorganisms are defined as those organisms and acellular biological entities too small to be seen clearly by the unaided eve (figure 1.1). They are generally 1 millimeter or less in diam¬eter. Although small size is an important characteristic of mi¬crobes, it alone is not sufficient to define them. Some cellular microbes, such as bread molds and filamentous photosynthetic microbes, are ac…

The mission of Mader's text, Biology, has always been to give students an understanding of biological concepts and a working the scientific process. The concepts of biology and the methodology of science can be used to understand the particulars of new ideas or of a system, on any scale, from the cell to the biosphere. In the twenty-first century, students are being exposed, almost on a dai…
At the time I began college, biology would have been at the bottom of a list of potential majors. I enrolled in a physical an¬thropology course to fulfill the life science requirement by the easiest possible route. During that course, I learned for the first time about chromosomes, mitosis, and genetic recombi¬nation, and I became fascinated by the intricate activities that could take place i…
One of my most exciting educational experiences was my introductory molecular biology course in graduate school. My professor used no textbook, but assigned us readings directly from the scientific literature. It was challenging, but I found it immensely satisfying to meet the challenge and understand, not only the conclusions, but how the evidence supported those conclusions. When I started t…
Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action encourages instructors to improve student engagement and learning in introductory biology courses. The central idea of the Vision and Change report is that we need to turn away from teaching methods that reward students who memorize and regurgitate superficial knowledge. Instead, we need to empha¬size deeper learning that r…
The ocean fascinates people all over the world, including, of course, students enrolled in undergraduate marine biology courses. For many students, taking marine biology is the natural expres¬sion of an interest in marine life that began by visiting the shore, scuba diving, recreational fishing, aquarium keeping, or viewing one of the many superb television documentaries about the ocean. Many …
The development of microbiology—from Leeuwenhoek's astonished observations of "animalcules," to Pasteur's first use of rabies vaccine on a human, to Fleming's dis¬covery of penicillin, to today's race to develop an AIDS vaccine is one of the most dramatic stories in the history of science. To understand the roles microbes play in our lives, including the interplay between microorganisms and …
