Overview

A summary of the major areas of glycomicrobiology. This molecular-oriented text considers the rapidly growing field of prokaryotic glycoproteins, and the genetics of the peptide-carbohydrate links. Expert commentary on prokaryotic recognition of glycoconjugate eukaryotic receptors and eukaryotic recognition of prokaryotic receptors is a highlight of the book. The structure and function of glycoconjugates of extremophiles is presented, along with the recognition and metabolism of carbohydrate substrata by microbial enzymes. Discussion of state-of-the-art methods in the detection of microbial carbohydrates is also presented.

`Overall the book provides an extensive review of our understanding of glycomicrobiology and reveals that the subject is still in the logarithmic phase of growth. The book will therefore be an important source of information and relevant literature references to active researchers in the field.' The Journal of Medical Microbiology, 50:5 (2001) `This book is of greatest use as a reference for researchers interested in the biochemistry of (mainly) surface-expressed glycosylated peptides and lipids. It is extremely comprehensively referenced ' Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 49 (2002)
