Riassunto

Provides a current view of the field, while retaining the format and logical sequence of chapters that made the first edition popular. Opens with a broad overview of microbial physiology, including metabolism, genetics, and the general parameters of cell structure and function. This is followed by detailed coverage of cell structure and the utilization of carbohydrates and other substrates for energy production and as precursors for various cell constituents. Covers in detail lipid synthesis, metabolism, and function; metabolism of nitrogenous compounds and the biosynthesis of amino acids, purines, and pyrimidines; synthesis of RNA, DNA, and proteins; genetics and the genetic regulation of activities of microorganisms; growth; and the formation of dormant forms (spores).

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Microbial physiology, the understanding of cell structure, growth factors, metabolism and genetic composition of microorganisms, is a field that is experiencing growth and strong interest. However, there is a lack of solid, comprehensive, and current reference books covering this part of microbiology.

Microbial Physiology, Third Edition fills that void.

This new edition is completely revised and updated to reflect the most current information and latest topics. Written by two of the leading experts in the field, Albert G. Moat and John W. Foster, the new edition of Microbial Physiology integrates genetics and molecular biology with bacterial physiology and metabolism in addition to providing an in–depth coverage of all the topics central to microbial physiology.

Topics covered in the Third Edition include:

• Macromolecular Synthesis and Processing
• Regulation of Prokaryotic Gene Expression
• Bacteriophage Genetics
• Subcellular Structure of Microorganisms
• Nitrogen Metabolism
• Amino Acids, Purines, and Pyrimidines
• Morphogenesis: Development of Dormant and Resting Forms

Microbial Physiology, Third Edition is the perfect reference source for professional microbiologists and graduate students in microbiology, as well as researchers in both the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
