Nanomicrobiology

"This interesting book is focused on some ultrastructural components of prokaryotic cell, either belonging to Domain Bacteria or to Domain Archaea, as well as on metal nanoparticles formation during metabolism and nanostructures involved in bacterial glinding motility. ... The chapters are written very clearly, from microbiological point of view and from nanotechnological point of view ... . The book Nanomicrobiology seems to me to be a useful working instrument for young growing students and scientists ... ." (Ioan I. Ardelean, Bulletin of Micro and Nanoelectrotechnologies, Vol. 6 (1-2), 2015)
