The purple phototrophic bacteria

The Purple Phototrophic Bacteria is a comprehensive survey of all aspects of these fascinating bacteria, the metabolically most versatile organisms on Earth. This book is a compilation of 48 authoritative chapters, written by leadingexperts who highlight the huge progress made in spectroscopic, structural andgenetic studies of these bacteria since 1995, when the last book on this topic was published. This new volume is similarly intended to be the definitive text on these bacteria for many years to come, and it will be a valuable resource for experienced researchers, doctoral andamp; masters students, as well as advanced undergraduates in the fields of ecology, microbiology, biochemistry, biophysics, integrative biology, and molecular andamp; cell biology. Scientistsinterested in future applications of these bacteria which could harness theirpotential for nanotechnology, solar energy research, bioremediation, or as cell factories, will also find this book useful. A new edition of a well-accepted, well appreciated ‘Bible’ in this field The only comprehensive survey of thepurple phototrophic bacteria since 1995; this book will remain relevant and topical for the next few years An integrated treatment of mutlidisciplinary topics such as light harvesting, which covers structure, spectroscopy and modelling INDICE: Part 1 Physiology, Evolution and Ecology.- Part 2 Biosynthesis of Pigments, Cofactors and Lipids.- Part 3 Antenna Complexes Structure, Function and Organization.- Part 4 Reaction Centre Structure and Function.- Part 5 Cyclic Electron Transfer Components and Energy Coupling Reactions.- Part 6 Metabolic Processes.- Part 7 Genomics, Regulation and Signalling.-Part 8 New Applications and Techniques.
