A Concise Manual of Pathogenic Microbiology by Saroj K. Mishra; Dipti Agrawal
ISBN: 9781118301210
Publication Date: 2012-10-26
A quick, concise reference to pathogenic microorganisms and the diseases they cause, this book is divided into specific groups of pathogenic microorganisms including bacteria, protozoa, fungi, viruses, and prions. It lists important pathogenic taxa in each group, covering their natural habitats, the diseases they cause, microbiological highlights, laboratory diagnosis, and measures of prevention and control, including availability of vaccines and effective therapeutic agents.
Microbes by P. S. Bisen; Mousumi Debnath; G. B. Prasad
ISBN: 9781118311905
Publication Date: 2012-07-11
An accessible introduction to the world of microbes-from basic microbe biology through industrial applications Microbes affect our lives in a variety of ways-playing an important role in our health, food, agriculture, and environment. While some microbes are beneficial, others are pathogenic or opportunistic. Microbes: Concepts and Applications describes basic microbe biology and identification and shows not only how they operate in the subfields of medicine, biotechnology, environmental science, bioengineering, agriculture, and food science, but how they can be harnessed.
Life's Engines by Paul G. Falkowski
ISBN: 9781400865727
Publication Date: 2015-04-27
For almost four billion years, microbes had the primordial oceans all to themselves. The stewards of Earth, these organisms transformed the chemistry of our planet to make it habitable for plants, animals, and us. Life's Engines takes readers deep into the microscopic world to explore how these marvelous creatures made life on Earth possible; and how human life today would cease to exist without them. Paul Falkowski looks under the of microbes to find the engines of life, the actual working parts that do the biochemical heavy lifting for every living organism on Earth. Falkowski shows how evolution works to maintain this core machinery of life, and how we and other animals are veritable conglomerations of microbes. A vibrantly entertaining book about the microbes that support our very existence.
Bacterial Physiology and Metabolism by J. R. Sokatch
ISBN: 9781483261386
Publication Date: 1969-01-01
Bacterial Physiology and Metabolism focuses on research on bacteria, as well as metabolism of carbohydrates, fermentation, and oxidation of acids. The book first offers information on nutrition and growth of bacterial cultures, including requirements for growth, nutritional classification of bacteria, measurement of bacterial growth, and synchronous growth of bacterial cultures. The manuscript then considers the chemical composition of bacteria, oligosaccharide catabolism, and transport of sugars. The publication takes a look at the fermentation of sugars and aerobic metabolism of carbohydrates,
