Book Description
Here is a complete summary of all results obtained by work done on the taxonomy, ecology, physiology and biochemistry of the unique group of bacteria: Aerobic Photosynthetic Bacteria. Contradictory to the traditional concept of bacterial photosynthesis the unique property of Aerobic Photosynthetic Bacteria is their ability to synthesize pigments and to utilize light energy only under aerobic conditions. Until now two classes of bacteria belonging to this group have been identified and their taxonomical relation to the purple nonsulfur photosynthetic bacteria is discussed.

Book Description
Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Bacteria is a comprehensive volume describing all aspects of non-oxygen-evolving photosynthetic bacteria. The 62 chapters are organized into themes of: Taxonomy, physiology and ecology; Molecular structure of pigments and cofactors; Membrane and cell wall structure: Antenna structure and function; Reaction center structure and electron/proton pathways; Cyclic electron transfer; Metabolic processes; Genetics; Regulation of gene expression, and applications. The chapters have all been written by leading experts and present in detail the current understanding of these versatile microorganisms. The book is intended for use by advanced undergraduate and graduate students and senior researchers in the areas of microbiology, genetics, biochemistry, biophysics and biotechnology.

Book Description
The newly revised and updated third edition of the bestselling book on microbial ecology in the oceans The third edition of Microbial Ecology of the Oceans features new topics, as well as different approaches to subjects dealt with in previous editions. The book starts out with a general introduction to the changes in the field, as well as looking at the prospects for the coming years. Chapters cover ecology, diversity, and function of microbes, and of microbial genes in the ocean. The biology and ecology of some model organisms, and how we can model the whole of the marine microbes, are dealt with, and some of the trophic roles that have changed in the last years are discussed. Finally, the role of microbes in the oceanic P cycle are presented. Microbial Ecology of the Oceans, Third Edition offers chapters on The Evolution of Microbial Ecology of the Ocean; Marine Microbial Diversity as Seen by High Throughput Sequencing; Ecological Significance of Microbial Trophic Mixing in the Oligotrophic Ocean; Metatranscritomics and Metaproteomics; Advances in Microbial Ecology from Model Marine Bacteria; Marine Microbes and Nonliving Organic Matter; Microbial Ecology and Biogeochemistry of Oxygen-Deficient Water Columns; The Ocean’s Microscale; Ecological Genomics of Marine Viruses; Microbial Physiological Ecology of The Marine Phosphorus Cycle; Phytoplankton Functional Types; and more. A new and updated edition of a key book in aquatic microbial ecology Includes widely used methodological approaches Fully describes the structure of the microbial ecosystem, discussing in particular the sources of carbon for microbial growth Offers theoretical interpretations of subtropical plankton biogeography Microbial Ecology of the Oceans is an ideal text for advanced undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and colleagues from other fields wishing to learn about microbes and the processes they mediate in marine systems.

Book Description
Very few books on photosynthetic bacteria have been published over the last 25 years and particularly not for young researchers and those working at the margins of interdisciplinary fields. This book addresses those issues.Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Bacteria is highly structured and contains detailed cross referencing of subjects. It covers important area including photosynthesis and photosynthetic bacteria; systematics and characteristic of each taxon; ecology and cultivation; photosynthetic electron transfer systems; metabolism; pigments and lipids; light-harvesting systems and reaction centers; photosynthetic genes and regulation of gene expression; origin and evolution of photosynthesis; and utilization of photosynthetic bacteria. Covers almost all scientific aspects of anoxygenic phototropic bacteria Includes cross-references with other chapters, helping readers easily understand the meaning and relationship of each chapter Provides comprehensive knowledge about anoxygenic phototropic bacteria to the readership

Book Description
Recent determination of genome sequences for a wide range of bacteria has made in-depth knowledge of prokaryotic metabolic function essential in order to give biochemical, physiological, and ecological meaning to the genomic information. Clearly describing the important metabolic processes that occur in prokaryotes under different conditions and in different environments, this advanced text provides an overview of the key cellular processes that determine bacterial roles in the environment, biotechnology, and human health. Prokaryotic structure is described as well as the means by which nutrients are transported into cells across membranes. Glucose metabolism through glycolysis and the TCA cycle are discussed, as well as other trophic variations found in prokaryotes, including the use of organic compounds, anaerobic fermentation, anaerobic respiratory processes, and photosynthesis. The regulation of metabolism through control of gene expression and control of the activity of enzymes is also covered, as well as survival mechanisms used under starvation conditions.
