Division of Chemistry and the Environment (VI)

COMMISSION ON FUNDAMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY (VI.1)

Number: 610/73/97

Title: Interactions between environmental particles and microorganisms
Series: Analytical and physical chemistry of environmental systems
> View Series Titles

Coordinator(s): P. M. Huang, N. Senesi, J.-M. Bollag

Completion Date: 2002 - project completed

Objective:
The programme aims to integrate the existing fundamental information on the interactions of environmental particles and microorganisms and the impact on the terrestrial ecosystem, and to promote fundamental research in this very significant and exciting area of science. It will cover many kinds of interaction between mineral or organic particles and microorganisms, effects of soil colloids on microbial and enzymatic activity, microbial mobilization of nutrients and toxic metals from minerals, interactions in the rhizosphere, global ion cycling, organic pollutant transformation, and processes in the subsurface. The programme requires the cooperation of many recognized scientists in the field who have been selected by the commission..

Progress:
Internationally recognized persons have been selected to complete this task. The book arising from this project, on topics that analyze the interplay between environment chemistry and (micro)biology, are in press. As with the earlier books in the Series, this volume (Vol. 8) collects critical reviews that characterize the current state of the art and provide guidelines for future research. John Wiley & Sons, Chichester, England is the publisher of this book. The book title is the same as the project title. The project coordinators are the book editors.
