New Approaches for the Generation and Analysis of Microbial Typing Data
Product Description
Rapid molecular identification and typing of micro-organisms is extremely important in efforts to monitor the geographical spread of virulent, epidemic or antibiotic-resistant pathogens. It has become a mainstay of integrated hospital infection control service. In addition, numerous industrial and biotechnological applications require the study of the diversity of organisms. Conventional phenotypic identification and typing methods have long been the mainstay of mic… More >>New Approaches for the Generation and Analysis of Microbial Typing Data
Microbial Waterborne Pathogens
Product Description
In the developed world, the connection between water, hygiene and health is taken for granted. However, for the less fortunate majority, access to potable water is non-existent and remains a daily struggle. Bacteria, viruses and parasites in contaminated water cause water borne disease. Of concern are the so-called new emerging pathogens, contributing to water borne disease, one of the biggest human tragedies, killing more than 5 million people each year. About 2.3 … More >>Microbial Waterborne Pathogens
Microbial Transformations of Low Rank Coals
Product Description
Fifteen leading scientists active in research on the chemistry, microbiology, enzymology, and genetics of coal biotransformation summarize knowledge of the mechanisms by which bacteria and fungi metabolize the macromolecular structure of lignite coals. They also explore the potential for developing commercially viable biotransformations of low rank coals into useful chemicals and clean-burning liquid and gaseous fuels. Microbial Transformations of Low Rank Coals re… More >>Microbial Transformations of Low Rank Coals

Microbial Megaplasmids
Product Description
Megaplasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements in the size range of 100 kb and larger. They are found in physiologically and phylogenetically diverse groups of bacteria and archaea. By definition, megaplasmids are not essential for the viability of their hosts under all growth conditions, but paradoxically many megaplasmids carry the genetic information for the defining and characteristic traits of the organism in which they reside. Microbial Megaplasmids review… More >>Microbial Megaplasmids
Microbial Genomes
Product Description
The Institute for Genomic Research, Rockville, MD. Describes some of the most common computational methods and their applications for studying pathogenic microrganisms. Also discusses issues relevant to the reconstruction of metabolic pathways, cell cycle processes, microbial evolution, and more. DNLM: Bacteria–genetics…. More >>Microbial Genomes
