Groundwater microbiology is the study of the microscopic organisms, mostly bacteria, that inhabit groundwater systems. Of the topics that make up groundwater science, groundwater microbiology has undergone immense advances in the past 40 years.
Microbes live nearly everywhere in the subsurface, even under harsh conditions of high temperature and salinity at great depth. Microbes influence and often control geochemical processes and hence they are important to the natural quality of groundwater such as the concentrations of iron, manganese and arsenic, and, along with oxidation-reduction potential and pH, determine the odor and color of well water.
This book introduces the principles of groundwater microbiology, from aspects of cell structure and growth, to the bioenergetics and metabolism of subsurface microorganisms, to the geochemical and physical influences of widespread microbial activity on groundwater systems and water quality.
