Description and Table of Contents
Description
This second edition has been brought up to date to provide a current view of the field, while retaining the format and logical sequence of chapters found in the original edition. It 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. The text 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).
