There is new material about food microbiology and water safety, biofuels, and the essentials of environmental microbiology, and more reference to archaea and yeasts and the human microbiome. Molecular techniques such as metagenomics, next generation sequencing, and CRISPR are briefly explained. Updated nomenclature of bacteria, archaea and viruses have been used throughout, but reference to pre-2022 nomenclature has been included to enable students to recognize how the new names relate to the older nomenclature. There are new tables available online of infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses (including dengue fever and COVID-19) and eukaryotic microorganisms as well as a table of applications of microbiology, including key microbial products and processes.Key FeaturesBeautifully illustrated to elucidate key concepts and mechanismsCovers a broad range of topics from eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms, the human microbiome, to viruses that infect humans, plants and bacteria.New to this edition: new nomenclature for bacteria, archaea and viruses is used throughout. The section on metabolic pathways section has been rewritten in a more accessible format. Sections on environment, human health, products and applications have been extended and there is more about archaea and yeasts.Each subsection begins with a concise list of key conceptsA free-to-access companion website features useful resources, including interactive questions, detailed further reading, and additional tabular content.

BIOS Instant Notes in Microbiology, 4th edition, has been streamlined to concentrate on features that are unique to the microbial world, including viruses, making it a more effective resource for students. Information on pathogenesis will be placed within other sections rather than as a separate section. While retaining the Instant Notes philosophy of only covering core material, the text has been updated throughout and will include metagenomics, next generation sequencing, and more on industrial microbiology.
