      abstract = {Over the past 4 billion years, microorganisms have  contributed to shaping the earth and making it more  habitable for higher forms of life. They are remarkable in  their metabolic diversity and their ability to harvest  energy from oxidation and reduction reactions. Research on  these microbiological processes has led to the newly  evolving fields of geomicrobiology and biogeochemistry,  linking the geosphere and the biosphere. This volume of the  Soil Biology series provides an overview of the  biogeochemical processes and the microorganisms involved,  with an emphasis on the industrial applications. Topics  treated include aspects such as bioremediation of  contaminated environments, biomining, biotechnological  applications of extremophiles, subsurface petroleum  microbiology, enhanced oil recovery using microbes and  their products, metal extraction from soil, soil elemental  cycling and plant nutrition.},
