Synopsis

This book unravels the recent studies in the field of microbial physiology. It also provides interesting topics for research which readers can take up. Microbial physiology refers to the biochemical examination of the microbial cell functions. It also includes an in-depth study of microbial metabolism, microbial growth, microbial cell structure, etc. While understanding the long-term perspectives of these topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects and the recent researches in this area. Scientists and students actively engaged in the field of microbial physiology will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The first edition of Microbial Physiology achieved sales in excess of 5,700 copies (with strong US support) and earned the reputation of being the most up-to-date and concise introduction to the physiology of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. This new edition maintains that reputation. Written primarily for undergraduate students in microbiology, the text offers a detailed description of the basic areas of microbial structure and metabolism and also covers the dynamic aspects of growth, control and development of microorganisms T There have been significant advances in the understanding of the eukaryotic genome and this new edition takes into account the implications of this for the biochemistry of morphogenesis in the microbial life cycle. Coverage of the new developments is supported by the addition of a large number of new illustrations. This revised and rewritten text is currently the only publication to offer comprehensive coverage of this subject at this level. Areas covered in the new edition include: Chemical cytology of the microbial cell; Growth and death; Substrate uptake and entry to the cell; Energy production; Monomer synthesis; Polymer synthesis and metabolism; Regulation; Morphogenesis.
