Offered in 0 more formatsAimed at undergraduate science majors, this textbook on microbiology emphasizes genetics and ecology and genetics and genomics as the foundation of microbiology, as well as placing equal emphasis on microbial ecology and medical microbiology. It incorporates case histories and a balanced depiction of women and minority scientists and historical and contemporary scientists (with new interviews). For this edition, Slonczewski (Kenyon College) et al. add new research topics and emerging pathogens, from cold-seep archaeal-bacterial consortia to emerging E. coli pathogens and viral gene therapy. Other new topics include the swine flu, the molecular biology of chemotaxis, plasmid segregation and metagenomic analysis of environmental populations, community genomics, and bioterrorism and quick pathogen detection. There is more coverage of immunology and some topics have been removed from the book and placed online. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
