Technological aspects highlight the usefulness of prokaryotes in processes and products, including biocontrol agents and as genetics tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4th edition of The Prokaryotes is the most complete resource on the biology of prokaryotes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following volumes are published consecutively within the 4th Edition:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProkaryotic Biology and Symbiotic Associations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProkaryotic Communities and Ecophysiology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProkaryotic Physiology and Biochemistry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplied Bacteriology and Biotechnology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuman Microbiology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eActinobacteria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirmicutes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGammaproteobacteria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeltaproteobacteria and Epsilonproteobacteria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther Major Lineages of Bacteria and the Archaea\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-01-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642301933\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-30194-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 609\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47188732641420,"sku":"9783642301933","price":494.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642301933.jpg?v=1775051232","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642301933","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
