Product Description
This book includes the descriptions of all bacterial cytochromes so far purified and characterized. The bacterial cytochromes are classified on the basis of their functions and are listed in a large number of tables for the convenience of the reader. The author himself is the discoverer of the nitrite reductase of the cd1-type; therefore, the nitrite reductase is described in great detail…. More >>

Product Description
Since the general recognition of the Archaebacteria, research into the evolution, metabolism, molecular biology and ecological roles of these fastidious anaerobes has proceeded at an ever-increasing pace. All possess a very novel biochemistry and many exploit unique ecological niches. Methanogens, which convert one-and-two carbon compounds into the important atmospheric gas methane, are the largest group among the Archaebacteria. Of all microbial groups, met… More >>
Product Description
Reflecting the proceedings of a 1987 International Symposium on the Biochemistry of the Algae and Cyanobacteria, this book covers such topics as algal metabolism, bioenergetics, metabolic control, extracellular products, and aspects of biotechnology. The distinguished contributors review studies with marine macroalgae, as well as microalgae and prokaryotic cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Other topics include osmoregulation, uptake and utilization of nitrogenous … More >>
Product Description
This book surveys recent advances in the biochemistry of cell walls and membranes in yeasts and filamentous fungi. While the main emphasis is on biogenesis, functional aspects are also discussed e.g. the role of glycoproteins in recognition, of sterols in membranes and of calcium in regulation. Several contributions describe the interference with the normal biochemistry of cell walls and membranes with a view to increasing fundamental knowledge, but also highly rele… More >>
