Product Description
The degradative activity of the filamentous fungi and the products of their metabolism are utilized in many and varied research and industrial areas. Species identification and knowledge of life cycles are therefore necessary for further research and for the use of these organisms. This book describes and illustrates 31 species of the order Mucorales (primarily genera Absidia, Mucro, Rhizopus and others), 126 species of the order Moniliales (primarily representative… More >>

Product Description
This is a lab manual intended for use in undergraduate courses and some graduate courses. It contains open-ended experiments to teach applied bacteriology approaches and techniques. Included are the fundamental principles of bacteriology, microbial ecology, bacterial physiology, basic fermentation, and biocontrol.
There is no other lab manual of this kind in the market. It breaks new ground in hands-on bacteriology, emphasizing the role of bacteria in both microb… More >>
Product Description
Cellular Microbiology describes interactions of microbes and pathogens in the wider context of the cell properties, helping the reader to envisage different possibilities for his or her own problem while detailing known specific examples. It provides microbiologists moving into cell biology a deep understanding of the field as well as a broader knowledge of possible interaction between their favorite organism and mammalian cells. It also provides cell biologists w… More >>
Product Description
Bacillus anthracis causes anthrax in all mammals, including humans. Depending upon the route of entry of B. anthracis spores, infection can result in cutaneous lesions, which are readily treatable with antibiotics, or systemic lethal disease, which is nearly always fatal. The continuing worldwide incidence of anthrax in animal populations, the risk of human infection associated with animal outbreaks, and the threat of use of B. anthracis as a biological weapon warra… More >>
Product Description
Many researchers have been deterred from the study of anaerobes because of the perceived difficulties in culture methods. Advances in equipment and methodology have led to more widespread study of these diverse and fascinating organisms and their activities, generating more interest in the subject. This book provides the first ready source of general methods of use to all anaerobic microbiologists, in addition to those which are valuable in the study of the specifi… More >>
