Description for Microbial Physiology
Paperback. Microbial physiology is the study of the structure, function, energy metabolism, growth, and regulatory mechanisms of microorganisms. The physiology of microorganisms can be used as a model for the metabolic processes common to all living things. Editor(s): Moat, Albert G.; Foster, John W.; Spector, Michael P. Num Pages: 736 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PSG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 255 x 177 x 38. Weight in Grams: 1280.
The Fourth Edition of Microbial Physiology retains the logical, easy-to-follow organization of the previous editions. An introduction to cell structure and synthesis of cell components is provided, followed by detailed discussions of genetics, metabolism, growth, and regulation for anyone wishing to understand the mechanisms underlying cell survival and growth. This comprehensive reference approaches the subject from a modern molecular genetic perspective, incorporating new insights gained from various genome projects.
