Provides a thorough understanding of the key features and properties of the genetic exchange systems that occur in prokaryotic cells and explains how genes in these systems are expressed and regulated. It also provides a range of techniques used in microbial genetics. Particular emphasis is placed on gene structure and the regulation of prokaryotic genes. The role of bacteriophages as mediators of genetic exchange is also discussed.
