„... provide a clear prospective, often laced with insight and enthusiasm... an informative and very browseable addition to the lab bookshelf...“ (Microbiology Today)
In accordance with its predecessor, the completely revised andexpanded Second Edition of Modern Microbial Genetics focuseson how bacteria and bacteriophage arrange and rearrange theirgenetic material through mutation, evolution, and genetic exchangeto take optimal advantage of their environment.
The text is divided into three sections: DNA Metabolism, GeneticResponse, and Genetic Exchange. The first addresses how DNAreplicates, repairs itself, and recombines, as well as how it maybe manipulated. The second section is devoted to how microorganismsinteract with their environment, including chapters on sporulationand stress shock, and the final section contains the latestinformation on classic exchange mechanisms such as transformationand conjugation.
Chapters include:
* Gene Expression and Its Regulation
* Single-Stranded DNA Phages
* Genetic Tools for Dissecting Motility and Development ofMyxococcus xanthus
* Molecular Mechanism of Quorum Sensing
* Transduction in Gram-Negative Bacteria
* Genetic Approaches in Bacteria with No Natural GeneticSystems
The editors also cultivate an attention to global regulatorysystems throughout the book, elucidating how certain genes andoperons in bacteria, defined as regulons, network and cooperate tosuit the needs of the bacterial cell. With clear appreciation forthe impact of molecular genomics, this completely revised andupdated edition proves that Modern Microbial Geneticsremains the benchmark text in its field.
