Bücher der Reihe Microbiology Monographs

Megaplasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements in the size range of 100 kb and larger. Microbial Megaplasmids reviews our knowledge of the extensively studied representatives. It also presents snapshots of more recently discovered megaplasmids.

In the years to follow, the Anomaly was repeatedly confirmed by all microb- logists who cared to compare the cell count in the inoculum to the colony count in the Petri dish (cf., Cholodny 1929;

The new series "Microbiology Monographs" begins with two volumes on intracellular components in prokaryotes. In this second volume, "Complex Intracellular Structures in Prokaryotes", the components, labeled complex intracellular structures, encompass a multitude of important cellular functions.

The new series "Microbiology Monographs" begins with two volumes on intracellular components in prokaryotes. In this first volume, "Inclusions in Prokaryotes", the components, labeled inclusions, are defined as discrete bodies resulting from synthesis of a metabolic product.

Reviews cover the biology and probiotic potential of the thoroughly studied prokaryotic genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, several eukaryotic microorganisms, probiotic strain characterization, and the analytical methods (such as FISH, microarray, and high throughput sequencing) required for their study.

With its characteristics, such as the ability to grow on lipids or grease, to accumulate oil and the high capacity for secretion of proteases and lipases, the yeast is of great interest for biotechnological applications.The main topics covered in this Microbiology Monograph are: expression and secretion of heterologous proteins;

Due to various special physiological features and a genome that greatly differs in structure, gene content and organization from other yeasts, Y.
