Key Topics: Contains an early and solid chemistry chapter (Ch. 2), which readers need to understand the metabolism of microorganisms and its applications in industry, ecology and medicine. Enhancements to the Eighth Edition include new chapters on Regulation of Gene Expression (Ch. 7) and Microbial Control Agents (Ch. 11). Content updates reflect the latest information in biotechnology, metabolic diversity, and, in particular, immunology. Within the microbial disease chapters, the authors have included a more global approach in terms of disease occurence and epidemiology.
