This volume is a comprehensive treatment of the genetics and molecular biology of anaerobic bacteria. Anaerobes share two essential characteristics: an extreme sensitivity to molecular oxygen and a capacity to produce duce energy and perform biosyntheses in its absence. Anaerobes have emerged in recent years as exceptionally interesting and important organisms with respect to their ecology, their role in diseases and in biotransformation, and in the search for alternative renewable sources of energy. The application of modern methods in genetics and molecular biology over the past 15 years has revolutionized our understanding of the biology and evolution of these prokaryotes. In Genetics and Molecular Biology of Anaerobic Bacteria, a distinguished international collection of scientists has contributed an up-to-date resource for all microbiologists involved in research and teaching on anaerobic bacteria.
