• Sommario/riassunto: The Flagellar World is a unique publication. The product of years of research and data collection by the author, this book is a pictorial guide to flagella in a variety of organisms. Each EM image is accompanied by a short description of the system in each organism. These never-before-seen pictures represent a wide variety of flagella, including Legionella pneumophila, Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterocolitica, and many others. Researchers in microbiology, immunology, and parasitology will find this a fascinating and useful resource.A unique publicat
