Bacterial genetics Unit II. Evolutionary Microbiology and Microbial Diversity: 11. Microbial evolution and systematics; 12. Prokaryotic diversity: bacteria; 13. Prokaryotic diversity: the archaea; 14. Eukaryotic cell biology and eukaryotic microorganisms; 15. Microbial genomics; 16. Bacterial, plant, and animal virsus Unit III. Metabolic Diversity and Microbial Ecology: 17. Metabolic diversity; 18. Methods in microbial ecology; 19. Microbial habitats, nutrient cycles, and interaction with plants and animals Unit IV. Immunology, Pathogenicity, and Host Responses: 20. Microbial growth control; 21. Human-microbe interactions; 22. Essentials of immunology; 23. Molecular immunology; 24. Clinical microbiology and immunology Unit V. Microbial Diseases: 25. Epidemiology; 26. Person-to-person microbial diseases; 27. Animal-transmitted, arthropod-transmitted and soilborne microbial diseases; 28. Wastewater treatment, water purification, and waterborne microbial diseases; 29. Food preservation and foodborne microbial diseases Unit VI. Microorganisms as Tools for Industry and Research: 30. Industrial microbiology/biocatalysis; 31. Genetic engineering and biotechnology
Summary: The book for introductory microbiology, Brock's Biology of Microorganisms continues its long tradition of impeccable scholarship, outstanding art, and accuracy. It balances the most current coverage with the major classical concepts essential for understanding the science. A six-part presentation covers principles of microbiology; evolutionary microbiology and microbial diversity; metabolic diversity and microbial ecology; immunology, pathogenicity, and host responses; microbial diseases; and microorganisms as tools for industry and research. For researchers, group leaders, senior scientists in pharmaceuticals, chemicals and biochemical biotechnology companies, and public health laboratories.
