Microbial Physiology - Hardcover
Provides a current view of the field, while retaining the format and logical sequence of chapters that made the first edition popular. Opens with a broad overview of microbial physiology, including metabolism, genetics, and the general parameters of cell structure and function. This is followed by detailed coverage of cell structure and the utilization of carbohydrates and other substrates for energy production and as precursors for various cell constituents. Covers in detail lipid synthesis, metabolism, and function; metabolism of nitrogenous compounds and the biosynthesis of amino acids, purines, and pyrimidines; synthesis of RNA, DNA, and proteins; genetics and the genetic regulation of activities of microorganisms; growth; and the formation of dormant forms (spores).

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.
