Designed as an upper-level textbook and a reference for researchers, this important book concentrates on central concepts of the bacterial lifestyle.Taking a refreshingly new approach, it present an integrated view of the prokaryotic cell as an organism and as a member of an interacting population. Beginning with a description of cellular structures, the text proceeds through metabolic pathways and metabolic reactions to the genes and regulatory mechanisms. At a higher level of complexity, a discussion of cell differentiation processes is followed by a description of the diversity of prokaryotes and their role in the biosphere. A closing section deals with man and microbes (ie, applied microbiology). The first text to adopt an integrated view of the prokaryotic cell as an organism and as a member of a population.Vividly illustrates the diversity of the prokaryotic world - nearly all the metabolic diversity in living organisms is found in microbes.New developments in applied microbiology highlighted.Extensive linking between related topics allows easy navigation through the book.Essential definitions and conclusions highlighted.Supplementary information in boxes.

With contribution from Joseph W Lengeler (University of OsnabrA ck, Germany) With contribution from Mazal Varon (Tel-Aviv University, Israel) With contribution from David Gutnick (Tel-Aviv University, Israel) With contribution from Ruedi Meili (Albert Einstein College of Medicine, USA) With contribution from Richard A Firtel (Albert Einstein College of Medicine, USA) With contribution from Jeffrey E Segall (Albert Einstein College of Medicine, USA) With contribution from Geneva M Omann (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA) With contribution from Atsushi Tamada (Osaka University, Japan) With contribution from Fujio Murakami (Osaka University, Japan) How do white blood cells identify and move to fight invading microorganisms? How do metastatic cancer cells find their target organ? How are sperm cells guided to the egg to fertilize it? How do unicellular organisms find food and avoid noxious substances? By chemotaxis is the common answer to all these questions. Chemotaxis - the response of cells to chemical stimuli by directed movement - is one of the most basic and fascinating processes in nature, involved in both health and disease.This is the first and only textbook and sourcebook on chemotaxis.The authors demonstrate how basic chemotaxis is to life and how widespread it is, and presents the state of the art with respect to its molecular and physiological mechanisms. Because chemotaxis research is still in progress, the book also indicates open questions and future directions of research. In addition, potential applications to health problems are pointed out.
