The release of genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs) into the environment is possibly the single most controversial aspect of applied biology. Areas of research directly relevant to the use of GEMs in the environment are fully discussed and some aspects of the use of specially selected un-engineered bacteria and fungi are covered. A series of chapters then deal with points important to the release of all types of bacteria, especially aspects of gene transfer and survival. The final chapters discuss specific case-histories of some of the known releases of GEMs. The book concludes with the likely concerns and reactions of legislature of various countries to the issues raised by this branch of biotechnology.
"The strength of this multiauthored book lies in its ecological perspective....a good resource for researchers working in this area." David Marsh, Bio/Technology
