Description and Table of Contents

Description

Escherichia coli, commonly referred to as E. coli, has been the organism of choice for molecular genetics for decades. Its machinery and mobile behavior is one of the most fascinating topics for cell scientists. Scientists and engineers, not trained in microbiology, and who would like to learn more about living machines, can see it as a unique example. This cross-disciplinary monograph covers more than thirty years of research and is accessible to graduate students and scientists alike.

Table of Contents

Why E. coli?.- Larger Organisms.- Cell Populations.- Individual Cells.- Flagellar Motion.- Physical Constraints.- Optimal Control.- Cellular Hardware.- Behavioral Hardware.- Genetics and Assembly.- Gain Paradox.- Rotary Motor.- Epilogue.
