INTRODUCTIONThis book presents in an easy-to-read format a summary of the important central aspects of microbial glycobiology, i.e. the study of carbohydrates as related to the biology of microorganisms. Microbial glycobiology represents a multidisciplinary and emerging area with implications for a range of basic and applied research fields, as well as having industrial, medical and biotechnological implications.Key Features and Benefits* Individual chapters provided by leading international scientists in the field yield insightful, concise and stimulating reviews. - Provides researchPathogenic microorganismsIdentificationGlycomicsPathogenic microorganismsGlycomics.579.165Moran Anthony P319541Holst Otto1603820Brennan Patrick J.Ph.
