Product Description
The first edition of The Prokaryotes, published in 1981, took a bold step to become the most comprehensive and authoritative encyclopedic handbook on prokaryotes. Another important step was taken with the second edition in 1992, when the chapters were organized on the basis of the molecular phylogeny as a rational, evolutionary basis for the taxonomy of the prokaryotes. By then, the two volumes of the first edition had expanded to four. With the d… More >>
Product Description
The new series “Microbiology Monographs” begins with two volumes on intracellular components in prokaryotes. In this second volume, “Complex Intracellular Structures in Prokaryotes”, the components, labelled complex intracellular structures, encompass a multitude of important cellular functions. Continuing and newly initiated research will provide a clearer understanding of the complex intracellular structures known at present and will bring to light surprising new … More >>
Product Description
To survive and to propagate successfully unicellular organisms require a very high degree of metabolic flexibility combined with sophisticated regulation. This book contains critical reviews written by the leading research scientists in this topical field. The authors explore regulatory networks in a wide range of prokaryotes including organisms that have only recently been investigated at the molecular level…. More >>
Product Description
This volume is based on ISPP2009, and presents selected invited works, reviews and research articles, covering the spectrum of the diverse subject matter covered by this symposium series. Here the authors have greatly expanded on what was presented in Montreal to ensure complete coverage of each topic, covering the gamut from ecology, physiology, proteins and genomics, signal transduction, to applied aspects. Not only are these articles timely, presenting up-to-da… More >>
