Microbial Cell Envelopes: Interactions and Biofilms
Product Description
This volume presents a series of coordinated chapters examining the surface properties and interactions of planktonic and biofilm microbial cells. The cell envelope determines the interactions between cells and their environment and is vitally important for survival. Phenomena related to it play a crucial role in the impact of microbes on a variety of disciplines including medicine, immunology, biotechnology, materials technology and process engineering.Thi… More >>
Microbial Cell Envelopes: Interactions and Biofilms
Immunology of the Bacterial Cell Envelope
Product Description
In reviewing the immunology rather than the chemistry of the bacterial cell envelope, this multi-authored book highlights advances concerning the antigenicity of cell envelope components and their effects on the host immune response. Each major component of the outer surface is analysed in some depth, with sufficient chemical data provided to enable a non-chemist to appreciate, for example, the rationale behind the proposed development of new sub-cellular vaccines. … More >>Immunology of the Bacterial Cell Envelope
Fungal Cell Wall: Structure, Synthesis, and Assembly
Product Description
Fungal Cell Wall presents a comprehensive examination of the structure, synthesis, and growth of the fungal cell wall and explores the reasons for the cell wall’s importance to the survival of fungi. Topics covered include the composition and structure of the fungal cell wall and how they are affected by endogenous and external factors; the structure and synthesis of glucans, chitin, and glycoproteins; and the mechanisms of secretion, organization, and final assembl… More >>Fungal Cell Wall: Structure, Synthesis, and Assembly
Fungal Cell Wall and Immune Response
Product Description
Recent findings on the role of the cell wall of pathogenetic fungi in the pathogenic processes of both vertebrates and invertebrates are presented. The fungal cell wall not only gives shape to the fungus, but it is a dynamic structure allowing fungal growth and survival of fungi in both friendly and adverse environments. It acts as a living sieve controlling the entry of nutrients and the secretion of metabolic products. In terms of fungal pathogenesis, the fungal w… More >>Fungal Cell Wall and Immune Response
Crystalline Bacterial Cell Surface Proteins
Product Description
The only book of its kind, Crystalline Bacterial Cell Surface Proteins assembles present-day understanding of the occurrence, structure, chemistry, genetics, assembly, function, and application potential of S-layers. The chapters are designed to stand independent of each other and provide a complete survey of the different topics in S-layer research. This book is intended to stimulate further development in basic and applied S-layer research. … More >>Crystalline Bacterial Cell Surface Proteins
Comparing Cell Culture And Mouse Assays for Measuring Infectivity of Cryptosporidium
Product Description
The objective of this research was to compare in-vitro cell culture methods with a mouse assay for measuring infectivity of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts. The specific objectives were to compare the dose response and sensitivity of cell culture and mouse assays with multiple isolates; compare infectivity methods with oocysts exposed to environmental water samples; determine the reproducibility and variability of the methods; and compare cell culture and animal assa… More >>Comparing Cell Culture And Mouse Assays for Measuring Infectivity of Cryptosporidium
Cell Signalling in Prokaryotes and Lower Metazoa
Product Description
Cell signalling lies at the heart of many biological processes and currently is the focus of intense research interest. In multicellular organisms, it is central to how different types of cell communicate with each other and how they detect and respond to extracellular signals. Intercellular communication is vital to single-celled organisms as well, allowing them to respond to environmental cues and signals. To date, much of the understanding of signalling m… More >>Cell Signalling in Prokaryotes and Lower Metazoa
