Description

Bacteria in Biology, Biotechnology and Medicine  is a broadly based textbook of pure and applied bacteriology. Written in clear language, the up-to-date text gives readers access to new ideas and developments in the current literature. The book is intended primarily for undergraduates and postgraduates in biology, biotechnology, medicine, veterinary science, pharmacology, microbiology, food science, environmental science and agriculture; no prior knowledge of bacteria is assumed. The sixth edition has been extensively updated; much of the text is new, or re-written, and there are many new references. Over 70 genera of bacteria, listed alphabetically, are described in the Appendix. Cross-references and a detailed index, maximise the accessibility of data. Reviews of previous editions: "….a useful survey of the subject for students contemplating specialization." —Nature "Singleton assumes the reader has no prior knowledge of DNA and gene expression, and does an extraordinary job of explaining things from scratch." —Quarterly Review of Biology "….recommended to undergraduates and those seeking clear explanations of basic concepts of bacteriology." —Journal of Medical Microbiology
