About this Item

Print on Demand. This book explores the morphology, chemical composition, and life conditions of bacteria. It delves into the rapidity of bacteria increase and their duration of life. It also examines the conditions necessary for bacterial growth, including nutrient media, reaction of the media, and the effects of chemical substances, deficiency of nourishment, and water. The author provides insights into the relation of bacteria to oxygen and other gases, and discusses the effects of temperature, mechanical, and electrical influences, and light and X-rays on bacterial growth. The book concludes by examining the conditions of spore formation and spore germination, as well as the activities of bacteria, especially in regard to their application to diagnostic purposes. The author emphasizes that understanding the behavior of bacteria is crucial for accurate diagnosis of bacterial infections. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Master the identification of bacteria with a classic, image-rich reference.

This volume combines a detailed atlas with practical diagnostic text, guiding readers through the appearance, staining, and growth of key bacterial varieties. It emphasizes microscopic features, colony forms, and results on common media, helping you distinguish similar species at a glance.

This edition presents a comprehensive collection of profiles, including morphology,Gram reaction, and culture characteristics, backed by clear plates and precise descriptions. It supports both study and day-to-day lab work, making complex concepts accessible for students and professionals alike.

• Concise descriptions of bacteria by shape, staining, and colony appearance, with emphasis on practical identification.
• Growth characteristics on gelatin and agar, including pigment production, liquefaction, and motility.
• Guidance on distinguishing closely related species through colony periphery, texture, and biochemical notes.
• Cross-references to diagnostic features and notable varieties for quick reference during work or study.

Ideal for readers of microbiology, bacteriology labs, and medical students who need a reliable, illustrated guide to recognizing important bacteria in the lab setting.
