Bacillus: Cellular and Molecular Biology (Second Edition)

Description

Book Condition: Like New – This is a new book, however there is a slight pressure indention (1mm wide – 1 1/2 – 2″ long on the back cover page-side corner. It is not a scratch, so no damage to color. Please see product photo for viewing. We play it safe to ensure we meet your expectations.

Bacillus subtilis occupies a central position in modern microbiology as one of the most thoroughly characterized prokaryotic model organisms. Its genetic accessibility, cellular architecture, and experimental flexibility have made it indispensable for understanding fundamental bacterial processes that extend far beyond a single genus.

Bacillus: Cellular and Molecular Biology (Second Edition) is a fully revised and expanded reference volume that reflects major advances in the field since the first edition. Edited by Peter Graumann, the book brings together leading researchers to present critical, research-driven reviews of the molecular mechanisms that govern chromosome organization, gene expression, cell division, differentiation, and multicellular behavior in Bacillus species.

Topics span the full cellular lifecycle, including chromosome replication and segregation, DNA repair, transcriptional and RNA-mediated regulation, regulated proteolysis, cytoskeletal organization, membrane systems, cell wall biology, endospore formation, biofilm development, competence, and horizontal gene transfer. The volume also explores how Bacillus coordinates individual cellular processes into complex social behaviors and adaptive strategies.

Designed for researchers rather than introductory readers, this second edition serves as an authoritative laboratory reference for microbiologists working in molecular biology, biotechnology, medicine, agriculture, and food science, and remains a recommended acquisition for microbiology research libraries.
