As with the first edition, this new edition of Living in a Microbial World is written for students taking a general microbiology course, or a microbiology-based course for non-science majors. The conversational style and use of practical, everyday examples make the essential concepts of microbiology accessible to a wide audience. While using this approach, the text maintains scientific rigor with clear explanations spanning the breadth of microbiology, including health, evolution, ecology, food production, biotechnology, and industrial processes.
Each chapter contains a series of case studies based on microbiology in the news, in history, and in literature. There are questions at the end of each case study and the end of each chapter, as well as an online quiz with help on answering the questions. The text, questions, and cases have been updated to reflect the changing influence of microbiology in the world today, from the microbiome, to new disease outbreaks (Ebola and Zika) and antibiotic resistance, to new biotechnology tools (CRISPR-Cas).
Living in a Microbial World, Second Edition is additionally supported by the Garland Science Learning System. This homework platform is designed to evaluate and improve student performance and allows instructors to select assignments on specific topics and review the performance of the entire class, as well as individual students, via the instructor dashboard. Students receive immediate feedback on their mastery of the topics, and will be better prepared for lectures and classroom discussions. The user-friendly system provides a convenient way to engage students while assessing progress. Performance data can be used to tailor classroom discussion, activities, and lectures to address students' needs precisely and efficiently.

Описание:
Beneficial Plant-microbial Interactions: Ecology and Applications provides insight into the mechanisms underlying the interactions of plants and microbes, the ecological relevance and roles of these symbioses, the adaptive mechanisms of plant-associated microorganisms to abiotic stress and their contribution to plant stress tolerance, and the potential of these interactions as tools in agrobiotechnology. A team of authors with wide experience in the area contribute up-to-date reviews in nineteen chapters devoted to different ecological and applied aspects of the rhizobia-legume symbiosis, ecto- and endomycorrhizas, and plant associations with diazotrophic or adiazotrophic plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria. The book is intended for students, researchers and academic faculty members in the field of agrobiotechnology.

Описание:
The aim of this new book series (Diatoms: Biology and Applications)is to provide a comprehensive and reliable source of information on diatom biology and applications. The first book of the series, Diatoms Fundamentals & Applications, is wide ranging, starting with the contributions of amateurs and the beauty of diatoms, to details of how their shells are made, how they bend light to their advantage and ours, and major aspects of their biochemistry (photosynthesis and iron metabolism). The book then delves into the ecology of diatoms living in a wide range of habitats, and look at those few that can kill or harm us. The book concludes with a wide range of applications of diatoms, in forensics, manufacturing, medicine, biofuel and agriculture. The contributors are leading international experts on diatoms. This book is for a wide audience researchers, academics, students, and teachers of biology and related disciplines, written to both act as an introduction to diatoms and to present some of the most advanced research on them.

Описание: DIATOM MORPHOGENESIS
A unique book presenting the range of silica structures formed by diatoms, theories and hypotheses of how they are made, and applications to nanotechnology by use or imitation of diatom morphogenesis.
There are up to 200,000 species of diatoms, each species of these algal cells bearing an ornate, amorphous silica glass shell. The silica is structured at 7 orders of magnitude size range and is thus the most complex multiscalar solid structure known. Recent research is beginning to unravel how a single cell marshals chemical, physical, biochemical, genetic, and cytoskeletal processes to produce these single-cell marvels. The field of diatom nanotechnology is advancing as this understanding matures.
Diatoms have been actively studied over the recent 10-20 years with various modern equipment, experimental and computer simulation approaches, including molecular biology, fluorescence-based methods, electron, confocal, and AFM microscopy. This has resulted in a huge amount of information but the key stages of their silica morphogenesis are still not clear. This is the time to reconsider and consolidate the work performed so far and to understand how we can go ahead.
The main objective of this book is to describe the actual situation in the science of diatom morphogenesis, to specify the most important unresolved questions, and to present the corresponding hypotheses. The following areas are discussed:
A tutorial chapter, with a glossary for newcomers to the field, who are often from outside of biology, let alone phycology;
Diatom Morphogenesis: general issues, including symmetry and size issues;
Diatom Morphogenesis: simulation, including analytical and numerical methods for description of the diatom valve shape and pore structure;
Diatom Morphogenesis: physiology, biochemistry, and applications, including the relationship between taxonomy and physiology, biosilicification hypotheses, and ideas about applications of diatoms.
Audience
Researchers, scientists, and graduate students in the fields of phycology, general biology, marine sciences, the chemistry of silica, materials science, and ecology.

Описание: Das Buch behandelt ein umfassendes Spektrum an Themen, die unseren derzeitigen Kenntnisstand auf dem Gebiet darlegen, insbesondere die historischen Kenntnisse und Missverstдndnisse Г1/4ber Motilitдt; die Evolution der Motilitдt von Diatomeen (Kieselalgen); die Г-kologie und Physiologie von Diatomeen; die Zellbiologie und Biochemie der Motilitдt von Diatomeen sowie die Anatomie beweglicher Diatomeen; Beobachtungen zum Bewegungsverhalten von Diatomeen; die Konkurrenzfдhigkeit von Diatomeen und einzigartige Formen der Motilitдt von Diatomeen wie bei der Gattung Eunotia; sowie Motilitдtsmodelle. Dieses Werk ist das erste Buch, in dem Informationen rund um die Motilitдt von Diatomeen zusammengefГ1/4hrt werden und das sich dabei allein diesem Thema widmet. Es wird sowohl der aktuelle Kenntnisstand Г1/4ber die potenziellen Mechanismen und цkologischen Regulatoren der Motilitдt vermittelt als auch dargestellt, mit Hilfe welcher mцglichen Modelle und Ansдtze zu erklдren ist, wie Diatomeen so unterschiedliche Verhaltensweisen wie tageszeitliche Bewegungen, Anhдufung in Lichtbereichen und Nischenaufteilung an den Tag legen kцnnen, um den Erfolg der Art zu steigern. In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass Diatomeen zu den цkologisch wichtigsten Einzellern in den aquatischen Г-kosystemen gehцren, hoffen wir, dass dieses Werk als Sprungbrett fГ1/4r die kГ1/4nftige Forschung zur Motilitдt von Diatomeen dient und dazu beitrдgt, noch bessere Lцsungen fГ1/4r einige Fragen in Bezug auf die Motilitдt zu finden.

Описание: Principles of Virology is the leading virology textbook because it does more than collect and present facts about individual viruses. Instead, it facilitates an understanding of basic virology by examining the shared processes and capabilities of viruses. Using a set of representative viruses to present the complexity and diversity of a myriad of viruses, this rational approach enables students to understand how reproduction is accomplished by known viruses and provides the tools for future encounters with new or understudied viruses. This fully updated edition represents the rapidly changing field of virology. A major new feature is the inclusion of 26 video interviews with leading scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of virology.
