Preface
Worldwide human activities are increasingly threatening the environment. Scientists have long been concerned about the effect of pollutants on biota, at the different levels of biological organization, from organisms to ecosystems. In the early 1960s, the emergence of ecotoxicology sensitized society to the harmful effects on the environment of human activities. Recent advances in microbial ecology enrich ecotoxicology with Microbial Ecotoxicology, which aims to investigate the effect of pollutants on microorganisms and, in turn, the role of microorganisms in determining the fate of pollutants. Several initiatives have proposed to promote Microbial Ecotoxicology, organize the scientific community to smooth research exchanges, and facilitate interdisciplinary studies
