Fundamental Bacterial Genetics presents a conciseintroduction to microbial genetics. The text focuses on onebacterial species, Escherichia coli, but draws examples fromother microbial systems at appropriate points to support thefundamental concepts of molecular genetics. A solid balance ofconcepts, techniques and applications makes this book anaccessible, essential introduction to the theory and practice offundamental microbial genetics.
* * FYI boxes - feature key experiments that lead to what we nowknow, biographies of key scientists, comparisons with other speciesand more.
* Study questions - at the end of each chapter, review and teststudents' knowledge of key chapter concepts.
* Key references - included both at chapter end and in a fullreference list at the end of the book.
* Full Chapter on Genomics, Bioinformatics and Proteomics -includes coverage of functional genomics and microarrays.
* Dedicated website - animations, study resources, webresearch questions and illustrations downloadable for powerpointfiles provide students and instructors with an enhanced,interactive experience.

Über Autor(innen)

Janine E. Trempy, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor ofMicrobiology and the Associate Dean in the College of Science atOregon State University. She has received numerous research andteaching awards from Oregon State University, and in 1996 she wasnamed by the Carnegie Foundation/CASE as Oregon Professor of theYear for her development and use of innovative inquiry basedcooperative learning environments. She was a Waksman/AmericanSociety for Microbiology Traveling Lecturer, presenting lecturesfocusing on science education reform. Her research focus is onbacterial crisis management systems, microbial applications (i.e.biosensor development; food safety) and developing inclusivelearning environments that enhance science literacy.
Nancy Trun is an Assistant Professor in the Dept ofBiological Sciences at Duquesne University where she teachesundergraduate and graduate level microbial genetics. She has taughtmicrobial genetics courses at the University of Maryland and atCold Spring Harbor Laboratory and received the National Institutesof Health Director's Award for science education at the elementaryschool level. Currently, her research focus is on chromosomefolding in bacteria.
