The Physiology and Biochemistry of Prokaryotes  (English, Hardcover, Jr. David White,)

This textbook and reference book describes a broad range of topics of interest to microbiologists. These include the structure, physiology, and biochemistry of bacteria, as well as cell-cell signaling, microbial development, and biofilm formation. It is written for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers. Students enthusiastically respond to how the text explains material in a simple, straight-forward manner. A special feature of this text, generally not found in others, is that it is extensively referenced at the end of each chapter with citations from the research literature. In addition, the Notes at the end of each chapter provide extra information on the topics discussed in the chapter for those who wish to dig deeper. Thought-provoking questions which close each chapter will help students learn the material and prepare for exams.
