Structural and Functional Relationships in Prokaryotes
Description
This book on bacterial physiology takes a balanced view of physiology, discussing both bioenergetics and bacterial metabolism in a way that establishes general principles and concepts and emphasizes the information gained from model systems. It also covers some experimental design issues in order to give readers an appreciation of the practical aspects and consequences of bacterial metabolism. The author stimulates readers to think about future developments in the field by presenting discussions from five world-famous bacterial physiologists.

From the reviews:
"The book of Larry L. Barton represents a successful review . . provides an exhaustive overview of the scientific information necessary for understanding the physiology . . The perspectives of six world-famous bacterial physiologists . stimulate students' discussion leading them toward the integrative approach of the comparative physiology. As stated by the author, the information presented in the book is intended to build on a background that students receive from introductory courses of microbiology, cell biology, genetics and biochemistry."
