Description

"Biology of Methylotrophs" is a comprehensive update and review of the various aspects of growth and use of compounds with no carbon to carbon bonds. Interest in methylotrophs has grown since their discovery due in part to the potential applications of these unique micro-organisms in industry. This book is a review of the many aspects of methylotrophy, including taxonomy, ultrastructure, physiology, biochemistry, genetics and ecology. The book collects the most recent findings by world authorities in their respective fields. It is the first book with a combination of the basic findings and their applications.
