9788177360714: Microbial Development Under Environmental Stress

Synopsis

Microbial response against different environmental stressors can involve very complex cell differentiation processes. This book provides a sampling of the latest advances on microbial development induced by environmental stress in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. It consists of six chapters written by qualified scientists across the world, who are specialists in different related aspects of microbial differentiation. The topics addressed in this book include: bacterial sporulation, prokaryotic and eukaryotic fruiting bodies formation, free-living and parasitic protozoa encystment (ciliates, flagellates and amoebas ). Contents: Robust mutual synchronization of signaling for survival in Dictyostelium discoideum; Encystment in Giardia; Ciliate encystment-excystment cycle: A response to environmental stress; Gene expression and Acanthamoeba differentiation; Behavior of myxobacteria under different stress conditions; Streptomyces sporulation: A tightly regulated reproductive process.
