I am pleased to provide the following excerpt from a book review of Molecular Phylogeny of Microorganisms:
"This book provides a timely assessment of current concepts in the molecular phylogeny of microbes since the foundations based on ribosomal RNA genes were described by Carl Woese more than 30 years ago ... I found this book to very informative both in defining the terms used by the authors, introducing each subject and also in providing good well-referenced reviews ... I found this book to be a mine of useful information and it gives some clear explanations of (to me) quite difficult concepts ... I would recommend this book to all microbiologists with an interest in molecular phylogeny." from Norman Fry (Health Protection Agency, UK) writing in Microbiology Today read more ...
