3.0 out of 5 stars
No Supplemental Information Here,
By CeruleanGrey (Bellevue, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Media for Environmental Microbiology, Second Edition (Hardcover)
I bought this book in hopes that it would aid in my laboratory work, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. I thought it would describe what the media was used for more throughly but it only had a sentence at most saying what I already new. Some media that I commonly use I could not find in this book.
It's great as a recipe book, but like I said, I was hoping it would provide more background and explanations.
