Molecular Biology of the Staphylococci
Product Description
This book is a collection of molecular studies of the biology of the staphylococci – the group of bacteria causing more human disease than any other. Presenting a comprehensive picture of the staphylococci as a bio-genetic entity, the book aims to be a scholarly treatise providing up-to-date reports on the latest developments from scientists working in laboratories around the world. The work is intended for molecular biologists, gene technologists, biochemists, libr… More >>Molecular Biology of the Staphylococci
Biology of Rhodococcus
Product Description
Rhodococcus, a metabolically versatile actinobacteria which is frequently found in the environment, has gained increasing interest due to its potential biotechnological applications. This Microbiology Monographs volume provides a thorough review of the various aspects of the biochemistry, physiology and genetics of the Genus Rhodococcus. Following an overview of its taxonomy, chapters cover the structural aspects of rhodococcal cellular envelope, genomes and plasmi… More >>Biology of Rhodococcus
Anaerobic Bacteria: A Functional Biology

Developmental Biology of Higher Fungi: Symposium of the British Mycological Society held at the University of Manchester April 1984
Product Description
This book describes current research on the ecological, structural, physiological, genetic and molecular factors that control morphogenesis in the higher fungi. The topics range from the relation between organism and substrate to problems associated with the production of mushrooms in commercial conditions, and include accounts of the most recent research on biochemical, molecular and structural aspects of mushroom fruit body development. Thus both pure and applied … More >>Developmental Biology of Higher Fungi: Symposium of the British Mycological Society held at the University of Manchester April 1984
Decomposer Basidiomycetes: Their Biology and Ecology
Product Description
This volume concerns the breakdown of dead organic materials by the basidiomycetes or toadstools, one of the three major groups of fungi. Although the decomposer members of this group are ecologically and commercially of immense importance, this is the first symposium to focus on them. Various aspects of the taxonomy, sporulation, growth, enzyme activity and genetics of the organisms are discussed first. The roles of basidiomycetes in the nutrient cycles and energy … More >>Decomposer Basidiomycetes: Their Biology and Ecology
