Review

From the reviews of the second edition: “This is the latest massive tome of the new Bergey, and deals exclusively with the Phylum Firmicutes, the low G+C Gram-positive bacteria … . an essential purchase for University and Technical libraries and larger institutional departments. … Its readership has to be all microbiologists, molecular biologists and medical and environmental researchers … .” (Ann P. Wood, Microbiology Today, August, 2010)
