Microbial Biotechnology in Horticulture, Vol. 1
Product Description
The application of microbial biotechnology to horticulture is of great importance, because it has the potential to increase productivity, to enhance quality and shelf-life of the produce and to develop novel techniques in food processing and for conversion of horticultural wastes into renewal energy sources. In addition, a wide array of scientific activities and resulting associated products, including biofertilizers, biological N2-fixation, microbial pesticides and… More >>Microbial Biotechnology in Horticulture, Vol. 1
Molecular Microbial Ecology
Product Description
Microoganisms are distributed across every ecosystem, and microbial transformations are fundamental to the operation of the biosphere. Microbial ecology is the study of this interaction between microorganisms and their environment, and arguably represents one of the most important areas of biological research. Yet for many years our study of microbial flora was severely limited: the primary method of culturing microorganisms on media allowed us to study only bet… More >>Molecular Microbial Ecology
Microbial Ecology: An Evolutionary Approach
Product Description
Based on the thesis that insights into both evolution and ecology can be obtained through the study of microorganismsm, Microbial Ecology examines microbiology through the lens of evolutionary ecology. Measured from a microbial perspective, this text covers such topics as optimal foraging, genome, reduction, novel evolutionary mechanisms, bacterial speciation, and r and K selection. Numerous aspects of microbial existence are also discussed and include: spec… More >>Microbial Ecology: An Evolutionary Approach

Microbial Transport Systems
Product Description
Transport of molecules across the cell membrane is a fundamental process of all living organisms. It is essential for understanding growth, development, nutrition as well as uptake and excretion of exogenous or synthesized molecules. Microbes respresent general and basic functional systems where many transport processes have been studied on a molecular basis. Knowledge of the microbial transport processes will provide new perspectives to treatments by inhibitors, dr… More >>Microbial Transport Systems
Transition Metals in Microbial Metabolism
Product Description
Accustomed as we are to thinking of life processes in terms of organic molecules, we should not forget that inorganic entities, particularly transition metal ions, are also integrally involved. Recent developments in biology and spectroscopic techniques have revolutionized our knowledge of the biological function of transition metal ions involved in microbial metabolism. Indeed there seems to be little doubt that the earliest biological reaction must have been catal… More >>Transition Metals in Microbial Metabolism
