Description
This volume, a title in the Society for Applied Bacteriology Technical Series, contains the papers presented at the Demonstration Meeting on Industrial Microbiology Testing, held at the Thames Polytechnic in 1985. The venture was the outcome of an expressed desire by members of the Society for Applied Bacteriology and the Institute of Petroleum's Microbiology Group to hold a joint meeting which would appeal to delegates in both organizations.
