Items related to Genetics of Bacterial Diversity
Synopsis
This text deals with the genetics and molecular biology of other bacteria, which carry out scientific, medical, agricultural and biotechnological activities. Taking genetic diversity as its theme, it illustrates phenomena such as genetic systems controlling pathogenicity, symbiosis, chemotaxis, metabolic characteristics, and differentiation.

Review
"...an ideal companion to standard core textbooks on prokaryotic molecular genetics."
--NEW SCIENTIST
"...a most interesting and informative book which will undoubtedly be useful to those involved in research and teaching in this area."
—SOCIETY FOR GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY QUARTERLY
"...probably the best book for advanced students of bacterial genetics at the moment."
—QUARTERLY REVIEW OF BIOLOGY
From the Back Cover
Whereas most other books on bacterial genetics deal almost exclusively with Escherichia coli K-12, Genetics of Bacterial Diversity is the first detailed coverage of the genetics and molecular biology of a wide range of bacteria. This is achieved in two ways: by providing overall accounts of the molecular and population genetics of bacteria; and by means of chapters, each describing a specific bacterial activity important to medicine, agriculture, ecology and fundamental science, under the general headings:
* specialized metabolic capabilities;
* morphological differentiation: flagella, spores and multicellular development;
* adaptations for animal pathogenicity;
* parasitic and symbiotic interactions with plants.
This book will be essential reading for informed microbiologists, geneticists and molecular biologists at all levels from advanced undergraduates to research scientists, and will be a valuable teaching textbook.
