While this has also raised a number of scientific mysteries about bacteria, it certainly improved our understanding of these organisms as complex and adaptive entities rather than just simple tiny buckets of enzymes. The value of this recent knowledge in bacterial physiology is not only restricted to fundamental biology, but it also extends to biotechnology and drug-discovery disciplines where understanding cell behaviour and structure is essential for better exploitation of useful bacteria and effective eradication of harmful ones. This makes a new text accommodating recent developments in bacterial physiology highly relevant to a wide range of readership including those interested in basic and applied knowledge.BacteriaPhysiologyMolecular biologyElectronic books.BacteriaPhysiology.Molecular biology.571.293El-Sharoud Walid M855197MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451694703321Bacterial physiology1909344UNINA
