Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The fifth edition of this successful text continues to present microbiology within the framework of general biology. Brief chapters on history and methods are followed by detailed treatment of structure, metabolism, growth, environmental factors and microbial genetics. An introductory section dealing with bacterial classifications prefaces 13 chapters concerned with characteristics of groups of micro-organisms.

Previous ed: 1977.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
