Publisher's Synopsis

This book evaluates the increasing wealth of knowledge on the regulation of synthesis and assembly of structural components of the bacterial cell. The state of this discipline is now such that it is possible in many cases to trace the exact sequence of events triggered by a change in the physical or chemical environment of a bacterial cell; signalling, gene expression, transport of the gene product to its correct location and assembly into a functional structure. The scope of this volume is broad, ranging from the organisation of the nuclear material itself to the sequence of events leading to differentiation and development; from the synthesis of intracellular storage material to the assembly of specialised photosynthetic membranes, periplasmic electron transfer chains and heat resistant spores. It will therefore provide an authoritative teaching text for students as well as a comprehensive series of reviews of structural aspects of microbial physiology and biochemistry.
