Description
This volume is a sequel to the Society for General Microbiology's Symposium 24 Evolution in the Microbial World published in 1974. That account was the first work devoted wholly to microbial evolution. Rapid progress in this area has resulted in a second symposium volume on the subject. Both molecular and cellular aspects of evolution are considered as well as the evolution of metabolic systems and evolution within two groups of pathogens.
