Hydrocarbon and Lipid Microbiology Protocols Petroleum, Hydrocarbon and Lipid Analysis

This Volume presents methods for analysing and quantifying petroleum, hydrocarbons and lipids, based on their chemical and physical properties as well as their biological effects. It features protocols for extracting hydrocarbons from solid matrices, water and air, and a dedicated chapter focusing o...
