What are the benefits?
There is more than one reason to check your library’s holdings.
1. Complete collections. If your library does not have the third edition of
The Prokaryotes, then you are missing a major reference for
microbiologists and bacteriologists.
2. Replace missing volumes. Now is the time to replace lost or damaged
volumes, or even get duplicates.
3. Update from previous, older editions. The Prokaryotes was first
published in 1981 as a 2-volume set. Make sure you have the most
recent, 3rd edition in 7 volumes!
4. Supplement e-only collections. Despite the search advantages of
electronic references, sometimes print is better. Now you can give your
e-readers the print choice, too.

Potential customers in industry, academia, and research
Previous editions of The Prokaryotes were bought by, amongst others:
• Environmental scientists and agencies:
– EPA and other government agencies
interested in pollution control, water
treatment and purification.
• Academic libraries serving life
scientists and microbiologists.
• Pharmaceutical industries
• Corporate libraries such as
– The Energy Industry. Prokaryotes
are a microbial system that can
be exploited to produce energy
from waste materials.
– The Car Industry. Prokaryotes
eat paint, so the car industry
researched and developed a
paint resistant to prokaryotes.University of Wisconsin observing growth of iron bacteria in a run-off channel from the Chocolate Pots along the Gibbon River, in Yellowstone National Park. An acid hot spring at the Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone is rich in iron and sulfur. A black smoker chimney in the deep sea emits iron sulfides at very high temperatures (270 to 380 degrees C).

From the reviews of the third edition:
“This encyclopedia is an absolute treasure for practicing
bacteriologists. … All articles have extensive tables
on the organisms discussed, and full-color illustrations
where needed. … The Prokaryotes will be particularly
useful for bacteriologists whose research leads them
to an unknown prokaryote or prokaryotic process;
they can become knowledgeable on that microbe in
one sitting, with ample references to lead them
further. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
Universities with extensive prokaryotic research
efforts; upper-level undergraduates through
professionals/practitioners.”
(R Seelke, Choice, Vol. 45 (1), 2007)
