MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

The new series "Microbiology Monographs" begins with two volumes on intracellular components in prokaryotes. In this first volume, "Inclusions in Prokaryotes", the components, labeled inclusions, are defined as discrete bodies resulting from synthesis of a metabolic product. Research on the biosynthesis and reutilization of the accumulated materials is still in progress, and interest in the inclusions is growing. This comprehensive volume provides historical background and comprehensive reviews of eight well-known prokaryotic inclusions.


Feature:

An up-to-date and comprehensive review of the inclusion bodies of prokaryotes


The authors and editors are internationally well-known scientists who have made significant contributions to the field


Research in the field will lead to far-reaching results related to new potential use of biopolymers
