Biocommunication in Soil Microorganisms
Description
Reviews / Votes
"The discovery of cellular communication (both inter- and intra-species communication) in the microbial world is one of the most exciting and significant scientific breakthroughs in the last quarter century. "Biocommunication in Soil Microorganisms" provides a in-depth review of many aspects of this topic for microorganisms and their viruses that inhabit the soil ecosystem. The chapters are written by leading experts in the field and provide a thorough treatment of our state-of-knowledge while also stimulating ideas for future investigation. It will be an essential reference for all of those with interest in microbial communication."

"Historically, we did not think of soil microorganisms as being immersed in an ecology of biocommunication. But we have recently come to appreciate the richness of such communication. And in this exchange of information the viruses (phages) and related genetic agents contribute a major mode of communication. Günther Witzany is to be commended for having compiled a milestone edition that has brought this topic together for the first time."
