The second edition of the book begins with the description of the diversity of wine-related microorganisms, followed by an outline of their primary and energy metabolism. Subsequently, important aspects of the secondary metabolism are dealt with, since these activities have an impact on wine quality and off-flavour formation. Then chapters about stimulating and inhibitory growth factors follow. This knowledge is helpful for the growth management of different microbial species. The next chapters focus on the application of the consolidated findings of molecular biology and regulation the functioning of regulatory cellular networks, leading to a better understanding of the phenotypic behaviour of the microbes in general and especially of the starter cultures as well as of stimulatory and inhibitory cell-cell interactions during wine making. In the last part of the book, a compilation of modern methods complete the understanding of microbial processes during the conversion of must towine.This broad range of topics about the biology of the microbes involved in the vinification process could be provided in one book only because of the input of many experts from different wine-growing countries.

Der praktisch tätige Kliniker benötigt für die tägliche Arbeit Leitfäden, die rasch, übersichtlich und zuverlässig die relevanten Informationen zur Verfügung stellen. Die bisher verfügbare Literatur in der Endokrinologie kann dieser Anforderung durch den Anspruch der umfassenden Darstellung des Teilgebietes nicht gerecht werden. Das Manual der Endokrinologie füllt diese Lücke durch seinen pragmatischen Ansatz, der auf großen theoretischen Ballast verzichtet und sich rein auf die unmittelbaren praktischen Bedürfnisse konzentriert. Das Manual bietet eine einzigartige Zusammenstellung von Details zur praktischen Durchführung und Beurteilung komplexer Funktionstests der hormonellen Regelkreise sowie einfache und zugleich umfassende "Checklisten" für die Stufendiagnostik, die Therapie und Verlaufskontrolle der wichtigsten endokrinologischen Erkrankungen.

Winemaking depends on a complex group of microorganisms such as yeasts, bacteria, and fungi, which colonize grapes, must and wine. Understanding their wine-relevant activities is essential to improving the selection and management of novel starter cultures and consequently wine quality. In contrast to previous publications, this book consistently focuses on the biology of wine-associated microbes. An international expert board of wine researchers describes the relevant systematic, ecological, physiological and genetic aspects of wine microbiology. The diversity of wine-related species, their energy, primary and secondary metabolism are important topics that have significant impacts on aroma production and off-flavour formation. The growth management of microbial species, stimulating and inhibitory growth factors and cell-cell interactions are also discussed; chapters on modern molecular and maintenance methods including rapid and real-time identification round off the book.
