Riassunto

The Flagellar World is a unique publication. The product of years of research and data collection by the author, this book is a pictorial guide to flagella in a variety of organisms. Each EM image is accompanied by a short description of the system in each organism. These never-before-seen pictures represent a wide variety of flagella, including Legionella pneumophila, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and many others. Researchers in microbiology, immunology, and parasitology will find this a fascinating and useful resource.

• A unique publication with many never before seen EM images of flagella
• A historical document of years of research on flagella
• Fills a specific niche that shows flagella in several varied organisms

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Professor Shin-Ichi Aizawa has decades of experience in the research of flagella, from developing a new method for the purification of flagella to the research of the flagellar with the electron microscope (EM). With The Flagellar World, Professor Aizawa has chosen to share EM images taken during his years of research, showcasing thousands of flagella images from various species.

Professor Aizawa graduated from the Department of Physics of Tohoku University in 1974. After obtaining a Ph.D.(Biophysics) at Nagoya University in 1980, he went to Yale University, Department of Biophysics & Biochemistry as a Postdoc under the supervision of Dr. Robert M. Macnab, then returned to Japan in 1985.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

This work offers a unique publication with many EM images of flagella never shown before. It fills a specific niche that shows flagella in several varied organisms with a short description accompanied by exceptional pictures that will add to any lecture on the topic. The intent of the book is not to provide an in-depth biochemical or molecular biology exploration of the flagella field, but to be a pictorial book with a short accompanying description of the system in each organism. The book is a historical document of years of research and a repository for data collected over a large part of Dr. Aizawa’s productive career, which is not available elsewhere and may well be lost to the scientific world without a proper outlet such as this book.
