Microbiology, 2nd Edition

,  ,  ,  

ISBN: 9781119320661

Microbiology, 2nd Edition helps to develop a meaningful connection with the material through the incorporation of primary literature, applications and examples. The text offers an ideal balance between comprehensive, in-depth coverage of core concepts, while employing a narrative style that incorporates many relevant applications and a unique focus on current research and experimentation. The book frames information around the three pillars of physiology, ecology and genetics, which highlights their interconnectedness to help see a bigger picture. This innovative organisation establishes a firm foundation for later work and provides a perspective on real-world applications of microbiology.

Features

  • Mini-Papers: Each chapter includes a Mini-Paper example in which key research papers are summarized, and original data is presented and interpreted. Critical thinking questions called Questions for Discussion are offered at the end of each Mini-Paper to help students learn to ask intelligent questions and design and evaluate experiments.

  • CONNECTION NOTES: Connection notes emphasize the interconnectedness of topics, both within a chapter and between chapters.

  • MICROBES IN FOCUS: Microbes in Focus provide a more detailed description of the habitat and key features of specific microbes that are mentioned in the chapter.
