Publisher's Synopsis

This is a comprehensive textbook on the molecular genetics of bacteria and their viruses for second and third–year undergraduates. The text presents the subject in greater depth than the sectional approach used in many texts, and with greater clarity than texts devoted wholly to the subject. The perspective adopted in the text is an evolutionary one, examining bacteria and bacterial parasites as organisms faced with the problems of survival, adaptation and replication. The text proceeds to examine the genetic machinery involved in maintaining such functions, including sections on DNA repair and defence.
