This subject has filled many books. To get started, I recommend
the intro text by Ron Atlas and Richard Bartha entitled "Microbial
Ecology." It is very well written, and covers a wide variety of
topics at a level easily understood by the college-level student
of biology, even one without a background in microbiology.
Have fun.
