The Prokaryotes

Springer's multi-volume set on the prokaryotes now extends its leading position as the authority on the subject in this fourth, updated edition. This second volume of the multi-authored, peer-reviewed work covers prokaryotic ecophysiology and biology.

The Prokaryotes

The third volume in this most complete resource on prokaryote biology covers the molecular, applied and general aspects of human microbiology and prokaryote influence on disease. Now in an updated fourth edition, its details include the technology of taxonomy.

Newly updated in a fourth edition, this publication is part of Springer's authoritative multi-volume resource on prokaryotes biology. Focusing on firmicutes bacteria, it covers not only taxonomy, but also prokaryotic biology and taxonomic technology.

This fourth edition of The Prokaryotes is organized to cover all taxonomic diversity, using the family level to delineate chapters. Includes new section on human microbiology dealing with bacteria associated with healthy humans and bacterial pathogenesis.

In its expanded 4th edition, The Prokaryotes includes not only taxonomy, but also prokaryotic biology and technology of taxa in a broad context. Updated and expanded, the book adds completely new sections on bacterial communities and human bacteriology.

In its expanded fourth edition, this updated classic represents the most complete resource on the biology of ptokaryotes. Different from other resources, it includes not only taxonomy, but also prokaryotic biology and technology of taxa in a broad context.

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 AssociationsProkaryotic Communities and EcophysiologyProkaryotic Physiology and BiochemistryApplied Bacteriology and BiotechnologyHuman MicrobiologyActinobacteriaFirmicutesAlphaproteobacteria and BetaproteobacteriaGammaproteobacteriaDeltaproteobacteria and EpsilonproteobacteriaOther Major Lineages of Bacteria and the Archaea
