Microbial Physiology, 4Th Ed

0.0

The Fourth Edition of Microbial Physiology retains the logical, easy-to-follow organization of the previous editions. An introduction to cell structure and synthesis of cell components is provided, followed bydetailed discussions of genetics, metabolism, growth, and regulation for anyone wishing to understand the mechanisms underlying cell survival and growth.Table of Contents• Introduction to Microbial Physiology • Macromolecular Synthesis and Processing: DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis • Bacterial Genetics: DNA Exchange, Recombination, Mutagenesis and Repair• Microbial Physiology in the Genomic ERA: A Revolutionary Tale • Regulation of Prokaryotic Gene Expression • Bacteriophage Genetics • Cell Structure and Function • Central Pathways of Carbohydrate Metabolism • Energy Production and Metabolite Transport • Metabolism of Substrates Other than Glucose • Fermentation Pathways • Photosynthesis and Inorganic Metabolism• Lipids and Sterols • Nitrogen Metabolism • Biosynthesis and Metabolism of Amino Acids• Purines and Pyrimidines • Bacterial Cell Division • Microbial Stress Responses • Bacterial Differentiation • Host-Parasite Interactions
