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. 606 $aBacteria$xPhysiology 606 $aMolecular biology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBacteria$xPhysiology. 615 0$aMolecular biology. 676 $a571.293 701 $aEl-Sharoud$b Walid M$0855197 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451694703321 996 $aBacterial physiology$91909344 997 $aUNINA
