Editorial Reviews
Review
This book is an ambitious organization of the large number of different microbiological media that have been devised in the last century....Ones first impression of this book is one of completeness....Anyone interested in a specific medium should have no trouble finding it in this volume. In addition, this book would be useful as a reference tool for easy comparison of different medium formulations.
American Society for Microbiology
News, Vol.60, No.4, April 1994
This is a volume that all working microbiologists will want on their shelves....For all college and university reference shelves, upper-division undergraduate through professional.
Choice, June 1994
The book traverses the entire discipline of microbiology and will serve as an excellent resource for anyone who is associated with industrial, medical, veterinarian, and academic microbiology.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Hany in any Microbiology Lab,
This review is from: Handbook of Microbiological Media, Second Edition (Hardcover)
The Handbook is an enormous tome of media formulations. The index is the back is indepensible. One thing that would have improved the volume is more explaination of why certain components are in each media formulation. However, this is for sure a useful book for all who work in microbiology, from clinical labs to industrial to academia.
