Salmonella infections of man and animals continue to be a distressing health problem worldwide. Far from disappearing, the incidence of typhoid fever in developing countries may be far higher than we had imagined. Salmonella food poisoning has increased to one of the major causes of gastroenteritis in the developed world, in itself also an indication that animal salmonellosis is still a major cause for concern. The situation requires a concerted multidisciplinary research effort in order to generate the new information and technology needed to assist in the control of these diseases. This concept was the driving force behind the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Biology of Salmonella" held...
Where does consciousness fit into biology? How did life evolve? What makes us human? These are just a few of the deep and universal questions that the new science and philosophy of epigenetics may be able to answer. Epigenetics ("above and beyond genetics") is an exciting new field, but it remains relatively unknown, even as genetics has been saturating scientific news since the early 1990s. Whether it was through the Human Genome Project, the heritability of a disease, or DNA ancestry testing, most people have likely heard of genetics. But, despite its popularity, very few truly understand the scope of genetics or what in fact constitutes a gene. Genetics is often thought of as the study of...
The genetic information contained in DNA is not static, especially in bacterial DNA. It is capable of recombining with other DNA sequences and transferring to other bacteria. These processes allow bacteria to rapidly respond to their environment and are also important in production of disease and the spread of antibiotic resistance. This book is concerned with the mechanisms underlying these dynamic processes in bacterial DNA.

Marine Sciences, Revised Edition details the explorers and scientists who are expanding the frontiers of marine science. This comprehensive resource includes the study of the geology of the sea floor, the chemical and physical properties of the water, and the life that teems in and around it. This revised edition now covers the role humans play in polluting marine life and water supplies, and ultimately accelerating climate change, making this edition a must read. It also ties in a selection of various reports, offering students insightful information on the methods and applications of oceanography. Chapters include: The Ocean Depths—Exploring the Seabed Mid-Ocean Ridge—The Largest Single Volcanic Feature on the Planet Creatures of the Deep Sea Tsunami—Killer Waves El Niño and Weather Harmful Algal Blooms—"Red Tides" Human Impacts: Pollution and Climate Change.
An international journal providing for the rapid publication of short reports on microbiological research.
Alistair Lax reveals the panoply of ways in which bacterial toxins overcome the defences in our cells. He explains how they work, how they are so successful in causing major diseases and how humans can learn to combat them, and even harness them for beneficial purposes.
