Synopsis
Bacteria occupy an unique position in the living world. They are amongst the first inhabitants of planet earth, and have survived throughout. Adaptation, adjustment and accommodation are the hallmarks of their existence. Their structural simplicity, and yet independent lifestyle has provided a baseline model system to evolve every branch of modern biology including molecular genetics and recombinant DNA technology. The field of biotechnology shall remain greatly indebted to these tiny organisms, both in terms of producing microbial as well as eukaryotic (including human) products. Amenable to all modern tools and techniques, bacteriology is a science that has developed an interface with all other branches of biology, often providing the major leads and clues. In this era of genomics, where large number of microbial genomes have already been sequenced, they are destined to provide fresh sets of information to understand life and its processes better. This book provides exhaustive information on almost all aspects of bacteria for keen learners. The book deals exclusively with bacteria and includes the entire gamut of bacteriology that should be useful to all those who are at graduate, post-graduate levels and especially those researchers who wish to investigate the enigma of life processes and wish to indulge in the areas of biotechnology mainly genetic engineering. The book is so formulated that it gives the reader a glimpse of the microbial world, the organization, their types and the groupings for easy understanding. The description on metabolic processes by as simple an organism as bacteria represents their versatility. The metabolic regulation, the capacity to change and keep evolving, the ability to facilitate genetic engineering with far reaching applications, and their pivotal role in natural processes are some of the highlights.

Synopsis
This book contains exhaustive information on almost all aspects of bacteria. The book deals exclusively with bacteria and includes the entire gamut of bacteriology. It will be useful to graduate and post-graduate levels but also to established researchers. The book is organized in such a way that it will give the reader an overview of our current understanding of bacteria. It will explain the categories under which various types have been grouped and describe the versatile range of metabolic processes which can be found in these microbial organisms. Their metabolic regulation, capacity to change and keep evolving and their pivotal role in natural processes are highlighted. Research on bacteria, especially genetic engineering, will have far reaching applications in the future.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The discipline of microbiology that deals with an amazingly diverse group of simple organisms, such as viruses, archaea, bacteria, algae, fungi, and protozoa, is an exciting field of Science. Starting as a purely descriptive field, it has transformed into a truly experimental and interdisciplinary science inspiring a number of investigators to generate th a wealth of information on the entire gamut of microbiology. The later part of 20 century has been a golden era with molecular information coming in to unravel interesting insights ofthe microbial world. Ever since they were brought to light through a pair of ground glasses by the Dutchman, Antony van Leeuwenhoek, in later half of 17th century, they have been studied most extensively throughout the next three centuries, and are still revealing new facets of life and its functions. The interest in them, therefore, continues even in the 21 st century. Though they are simple, they provide a wealth of information on cell biology, physiology, biochemistry, ecology, and genetics and biotechnology. They, thus, constitute a model system to study a whole variety of subjects. All this provided the necessary impetus to write several valuable books on the subject of microbiology. While teaching a course of Microbial Genetics for the last 35 years at Delhi University, we strongly felt the need for authentic compiled data that could give exhaustive background information on each of the member groups that constitute the microbial world.
