  • Horizontal Gene Poolby Christopher M. Thomas

    CRC Press 2000; US$ 121.00

    Bacteria are the most ubiquitous of all organisms being responsible not only for a number of diseases but also for many of the chemical cycles on which life on earth depends. Vital to their genetic adaptability is the existence of autonomous genetic elements-plasmids-which promote genetic exchange and recombination. The genes carried by any particular plasmid may be found only in few individuals of any species but can also be shared with other species and thus constitute a horizontal gene pool. This book deals with the various contributions that plasmids make to this pool-the replication, stable inheritance and transfer modules, the phenotypic markers they carry, the way they evolve, the ways they contribute to their host population, and the... more...

  • Handbook on Clostridiaby Peter Duerre

    CRC Press 2005; US$ 199.95

    Clostridia is one of the largest bacterial genera with an enormous potential for biotechnical and medical applications. Despite this scientific, medical, and industrial interest, information on basic methods, biochemical fundamentals, clinical practice, industrial applications, and novel developments is scattered in a variety of research articles, reviews, and book chapters. The Handbook on Clostridia combines all these topics in a single volume. The author has taken a global approach, integrating into a seamless entity what until now have been two disparate and separate fields: Clostridia of biotechnological importance and Clostridia of medical importance. more...

  • Bacterial Adhesion to Host Tissuesby Michael Wilson; Brian Henderson; Michael Curtis; Sir Anthony Coates

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 42.00

    Bacterial adhesion to host cells/tissues is essential for maintaining normal, protective host microflora. It is also the crucial first stage in any infectious disease. The molecular mechanisms described in this book are therefore of great interest to microbiologists and those seeking means of preventing and treating bacterial infections. more...
