The October 1994 proceedings address the role of microorganisms in global cycles and as the basic support of biodiversity on the planet. 19 presentations and a workshop summary describe cutting edge research in the diversity of viruses, the evolution of fungal diversity, symbiosis in termites, sensitivity analysis in microbial communities, the diversity of naturally occurring prokaryotes, image analysis of bacterial cell size, and the role of microbial diversity in the cycling of elements. Includes illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
