Synopsis

Practical Bacteriology: Historical methods for detecting and analyzing bacteria in water, air, and soil presents time-tested techniques for identifying microbes in everyday environments.

This edition guides readers through classic methods used to detect common indicators of contamination, such as Bacillus coli, and to differentiate pathogenic from nonpathogenic organisms. Clear, step-by-step explanations help you understand how labs in the early days of bacteriology approached water, air, and soil analysis. The book assembles practical procedures, including enrichment cultures and selective media, as well as direct plating approaches. It covers how scientists interpret results like gas production in fermentation tubes, reactions on Endo medium, and other biochemical tests that establish bacterial identities. Readers will also explore the behavior of bacteria in air, effects of weather on airborne populations, and the challenges of isolating organisms from environmental samples. The text ties these methods to real-world questions about water potability, air safety, and soil health. What you’ll experience

• Foundational techniques for detecting bacteria in water, air, and soil.
• Historical context for how indicators like colon bacilli were used to assess contamination.
• Descriptions of culture methods, media choices, and interpretation of results.
• Discussion of factors affecting bacterial survival in the environment and in the air.

Ideal for students, researchers, and professionals who want a grounded look at early 20th-century bacteriology methods and their practical applications in public health and environmental analysis.
Ideal for readers of microbiology histories, laboratory technique primers, and anyone studying the evolution of bacterial detection in water, air, and soil.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
