Essential Microbiology 2nd Edition is a fully revised
comprehensive introductory text aimed at students taking a first
course in the subject. It provides an ideal entry into the world of
microorganisms, considering all aspects of their biology
(structure, metabolism, genetics), and illustrates the remarkable
diversity of microbial life by devoting a chapter to each of the
main taxonomic groupings. The second part of the book introduces
the reader to aspects of applied microbiology, exploring the
involvement of microorganisms in areas as diverse as food and drink
production, genetic engineering, global recycling systems and
infectious disease. Essential Microbiology explains the key points
of each topic but avoids overburdening the student with unnecessary
detail. Now in full colour it makes extensive use of clear line
diagrams to clarify sometimes difficult concepts or mechanisms. A
companion web site includes further material including MCQs,
enabling the student to assess their understanding of the main
concepts that have been covered.
This edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the
developments that have occurred in recent years and includes a
completely new section devoted to medical microbiology. Students of
any life science degree course will find this a concise and
valuable introduction to microbiology.
