Publisher's Synopsis
Biological Nitrogen Fixation is a comprehensive 3volume work bringing together both review and original researcharticles on key topics in nitrogen fixation. Chapters across allthree volumes emphasize molecular techniques and advancedbiochemical analysis approaches applicable to various aspects ofbiological nitrogen fixation, but each volume also has a uniquefocus: Volume I explores the chemistry and biochemistry ofnitrogenases, nif gene regulation, the taxonomy, evolution, andgenomics of nitrogen fixing organisms, as well as their physiologyand metabolism. Volume II covers the symbiotic interaction of nitrogen fixingorganisms with their host plants, including nodulation andsymbiotic nitrogen fixation. Volume III features chapters on the "omics" of nitrogen fixingorganisms and host plants, nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria andarchaea, nitrogen fixing plant growth promoting rhizobacteria andnon–legumes, as well as field studies and nitrogen fixation incereals. Covering the full breadth of current nitrogen fixation researchand synthesizing it to point the way forward,Biological NitrogenFixation will be a one–stop reference for microbialecologists and environmental microbiologists as well as plant andagricultural researchers working on crop sustainability.
