Buchner, T. B. & Ewingen, N. H. ed. Nova Science Pub. 2009.6 * Photosynthesis is a metabolic pathway that converts light energy into chemical energy. Its initial substrates are carbon dioxide and water; the energy source is sunlight (electromagnetic radiation); and the end-products are oxygen and (energy-containing) carbohydrates, such as sucrose, glucose or starch. This process is one of the most important biochemical pathways, since nearly all life on Earth either directly or indirectly depends on it as a source of energy. It is a complex process occurring in plants, algae, as well as bacteria such as cyanobacteria. * Wada, H. & Murata, N. ed. Springer Netherlands 2009.10 Collin, M. & Schuch, R. ed. * Direct communication between bacteria turns out to be quite common, as are coordinated intra- and interspecies responses that include the formation of highly sophisticated microbial communities. * This volume provides an update of the current knowledge in the expanding field of bacterial sensing and signaling, highlighting its most important and interesting aspects. In twelve state-of-the-art articles, respected international experts address topics such as quorum sensing and secondary messengers, chemotaxis and magnetoaerotaxis, two-component phosphotransferase systems, bacterial virulence mechanisms, thermoregulation, and more. The final chapter represents a unique description of the tools available to manipulate many of the sensing and signaling systems described in this volume. Bacterial Sensing and Signaling is recommended reading for students, scientists and clinicians with interests in microbiology, immunology, ecology, biotechnology and a range of other disciplines. * Epstein, S. S. ed. * The number of existing microbial species may be in the millions, but only a few thousand have been isolated in pure culture and described. The principal reason for this tremendous disparity is that, mysteriously, over 99% of all environmental microorganisms refuse to grow in the laboratory. The phenomenon of microbial uncultivability has been recognized as one of the main challenges for basic and applied microbiology, and finding a way to access this uncultivated microbial majority may change many aspects of biology and biotechnology as we know them today. * Laisk, A. et al. ed. Springer Netherlands 2009.6 * Chapters are written by 44 international authorities from 15 countries. Mathematics is a powerful tool for quantitative analysis. Properly programmed, contemporary computers are able to mimic complicated processes in living cells, leaves, canopies and ecosystems. These simulations - mathematical models - help us predict the photosynthetic responses of modeled systems under various combinations of environmental conditions, potentially occurring in nature, e.g., the responses of plant canopies to globally increasing temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration. Tremendous analytical power is needed to understand nature's infinite complexity at every level. * Komarek, J. Spektrum Akademischer Verlag 2008.10 * This book is a review of all the cyanoprokaryotic taxonomic units, registered and recognizable from European natural biotopes, including the marine coasts. Our determination keys and taxonomic descriptions should permit the identification of natural populations, and should be related to known culture material. Numerous strains were isolated, kept in strain collections and used as important model organisms for experiments of various kinds. Only a few Cyanoprokaryotes grow in culture in the typical form known from nature, the others usually need special procedures to induce their typical forms and life cycles. The identification of strains without previous knowledge of natural material needs to be studied with a special care. * This book was written for identification and standardization of known, morphologically and ecologically distinguishable European Cyanoprokaryotes that have been described from natural populations. In the introductory part only data important for identification practice are therefore included. At the end of this chapter we append a list of this basic literature, which comprises all the necessary detailed information. We have selected accurate drawings of described species. We also present illustrations of some non-European species when such figures are needed in order to understand the generic diacritical features or infrageneric diversity. * Johnson, T. R. & Case, C. L. Addison-Wesley 2009.1 * Containing 57 thoroughly class-tested exercises, this manual provides basic microbiology techniques with applications for undergraduate students in diverse areas, including the biological sciences, the allied health sciences, agriculture, environmental science, nutrition, pharmacy, and various pre-professional programs. * The Ninth Edition features a new, four-color design and a dramatically new art program. Many of the illustrations have been re-rendered in a modern, realistic, three-dimensional style, and detailed, colorful photomicrographs that were once grouped together in a color insert are now integrated throughout the exercises. Experiments have been refined throughout, and a new exercise on parasitic helminths provides students with valuable practice in microscopic examination and observation. * |
