The Prokaryotes: Prokaryotic Biology and Symbiotic Associations

Eugene Rosenberg Editat de Edward F. DeLong, Erko Stackebrandt, Stephen Lory, Fabiano Thompson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 ian 2013
The Prokaryotes is a comprehensive, multi-authored, peer reviewed reference work on Bacteria and Achaea.  This fourth edition of The Prokaryotes is organized to cover all taxonomic diversity, using the family level to delineate chapters.
Different from other resources, this new Springer product includes not only taxonomy, but also prokaryotic biology and technology of taxa in a broad context. Technological aspects highlight the usefulness of prokaryotes in processes and products, including biocontrol agents and as genetics tools.
The content of the expanded fourth edition is divided into two parts: Part 1 contains review chapters dealing with the most important general concepts in molecular, applied and general prokaryote biology; Part 2 describes the known properties of specific taxonomic groups.
Two completely new sections have been added to Part 1: bacterial communities and human bacteriology. The bacterial communities section reflects the growing realization that studies on pure cultures of bacteria have led to an incomplete picture of the microbial world for two fundamental reasons: the vast majority of bacteria in soil, water and associated with biological tissues are currently not culturable, and that an understanding of microbial ecology requires knowledge on how different bacterial species interact with each other in their natural environment. The new section on human microbiology deals with bacteria associated with healthy humans and bacterial pathogenesis. Each of the major human diseases caused by bacteria is reviewed, from identifying the pathogens by classical clinical and non-culturing techniques to the biochemical mechanisms of the disease process.
The 4th edition of The Prokaryotes is the most complete resource on the biology of prokaryotes.
The following volumes are published consecutively within the 4th Edition:
Prokaryotic Biology and Symbiotic Associations
Prokaryotic Communities and Ecophysiology
Prokaryotic Physiology and Biochemistry
Applied Bacteriology and Biotechnology
Human Microbiology
Actinobacteria
Firmicutes
Alphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria
Gammaproteobacteria
Deltaproteobacteria and Epsilonproteobacteria
Other Major Lineages of Bacteria and the Archaea

Recenzii

From the book reviews:
“This book … edited and written by great scientists covers essential contributions on different types of prokaryotic communities as well as on the prokaryotic functions in different environments. … This volume, as well as the whole series, should be available in every large scientific library.” (Ioan I. Ardelean, Bulletin of Micro and Nanoelectrotechnologies, Vol. 5 (3-4), December, 2014)
