    'A wonderful text for modern day study of microbes and their fantastic activities. It brings together so many aspects of microbes including their diversity, metabolism, genetics, etc., etc., etc. I wish I had such a book at my side when I was a student. The text will bring the wonders of microbiology to the student in a way that he/she will never forget.' Arnold L. Demain, Drew University
