Biochemistry and Physiology of Anaerobic Bacteria

Seeming sometimes more like science fiction than science, anaerobic bacteria have been at the center of a number of exciting new discoveries. It has practical applications ranging from wastewater treatment to clinical diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions.
