Essential Microbiology 2nd Edition is a fully revised
comprehensive introductory text aimed at students taking a first
course in the subject.  It provides an ideal entry into the
world of microorganisms, considering all aspects of their biology
(structure, metabolism, genetics), and illustrates the remarkable
diversity of microbial life by devoting a chapter to each of the
main taxonomic groupings. The second part of the book introduces
the reader to aspects of applied microbiology, exploring the
involvement of microorganisms in areas as diverse as food and drink
production, genetic engineering, global recycling systems and
infectious disease.

 

Essential Microbiology explains the key points of each topic but
avoids overburdening the student with unnecessary detail. Now in
full colour it makes extensive use of clear line diagrams to
clarify sometimes difficult concepts or mechanisms. A companion web
site includes further material including MCQs, enabling the student
to assess their understanding of the main concepts that have been
covered.


This edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the
developments that have occurred in recent years and includes a
completely new section devoted to medical microbiology. 
Students of any life science degree course will find this a concise
and valuable introduction to microbiology.
