Taking a refreshingly new approach, it present an integrated view of the prokaryotic cell as an organism and as a member of an interacting population. Beginning with a description of cellular structures, the text proceeds through metabolic pathways and metabolic reactions to the genes and regulatory mechanisms. At a higher level of complexity, a discussion of cell differentiation processes is followed by a description of the diversity of prokaryoProkaryotesMicroorganismsProcariotesthubBacteristhubLlibres electrònicsthubProkaryotes.Microorganisms.ProcariotesBacteris579.3Lengeler Joseph W955813Drews G(Gerhart)955814Schlegel Hans Günter1924-150448MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996200240203316Biology of the prokaryotes2163478UNISA
