A new book on
Bacterial Polysaccharides has been published by
Caister Academic Press. The book covers current research and biotechnological applications. Taking an interdisciplinary view the authors examine bacterial polysaccharides from molecular biology, genome-, transcriptome- and proteome-wide perspectives, and include ecological aspects and systems biology approaches.
