Preface to the Third Edition
The need for a third edition of Geomicrobiology has arisen because of some important advances in the field since the second edition. Of particular significance are advances in the areas of subsurface microbiology as it relates to groundwater, carbonate deposition, rock weathering, methyl-mercury formation, oxidation and reduction of iron and manganese, chromate reduction, oxidation and reduction of molybdenum, reduction of vanadate (V) and uranium (VI), oxidation and reduction of sulfur compounds, reduction of selenate and selenite, methanogenesis, microbial attack of coal, and degradation of hydrocarbons. These advances have been integrated into the treatment of these subjects. The chapter dealing with the biochemistry and physiology of geomicrobial processes has been updated to convey the basis for our current understanding of how and why microbes are involved in these processes.
Because this book is meant to serve as a reference as well as a textbook, very little material from the second edition has been eliminated. By retaining this information, an overview of the growth of the field of geomicrobiology since its inception is retained. It enables newcomers to learn what has been accomplished in the field and to gain an introduction to the literature. The literature citations on the different subjects are not exhaustive, but include the most important ones, making it possible to

locate other works by cross referencing. As in the previous editions, a glossary is included to aid in definition of unfamiliar scientific terms.
In preparing this edition, I have retained some of the line drawings prepared by Stephen Chiang for the first edition that were also included in the second edition. Some other illustrations from the second edition have been replaced, and a few entirely new illustrations have been included. I am indebted to a number of persons and publishers for making available original photographs or allowing reproduction of previously published material. They are acknowledged in the legends of the individual illustrations.
I wish to thank Marcel Dekker, Inc., for their continued belief in the importance of this book by encouraging the preparation of this third edition. I want to express special thanks to Bradley Benedict, Assistant Production Editor, and the editorial staff for their assistance in preparing this edition.
