Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Takes into account the many advances, both in concept and detail, concerning this subject. Begins with an integrated depiction of the structure, growth, differentiation, metabolism and molecular biology of bacteria providing a framework to all areas of bacteriology--namely biotechnology, medicine, water supplies, sewage treatment, food technology, agriculture and environmental science. Subsequent chapters deal with specific areas of applied bacteriology, the classification/identification of bacteria, disinfection, sterilization and other fields of practical bacteriology.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
