OverviewMolecular microbiology is a rapidly expanding area of contemporary science: the application of molecular biology has opened up the microbial world in many remarkable ways. The attraction of microbes is that they are self-contained and that they offer complete solutions to understanding the phenomenon of life. This book provides a concise introduction to current research in the field. Four major areas are introduced and explained: - Bacterial Biochemistry - Bacterial Genomes - Gene Expression - Microbial Cell Biology Full Product DetailsAuthor: Stephen J.W. Busby , Christopher M.
