Eminent scientists contribute 13 highly topical reviews on current aspects of this exciting area. This volume provides a valuable insight into many of the recent developments in this broad field and their biomedical or biotechnological revelance. Topics include quorum and anti-quorum sensing, selected symbioses, DNA shuffling in the environment, the evolution and development of novel motility mechanisms, hydrocarbon degradation, the interactions of microbes with metals, and adaptations to extremes of pressure and temperature. An invaluable reference work!
