Industrial microbiology encompasses a broad complex area of study. It includes the many uses of microorganisms to produce products of economic value and to decompose the wastes of municipalities and industry. In addition, it includes the prevention of unwanted growth of microorganisms and the resultant deterioration of natural and man-made materials. It is written as an introductory text to provide the college junior or senior students or the industrial technicians needing to gain an insight into this area, with a working knowledge of the theory and practice of various aspects of industrial microbiology.
