Food Microbiology Protocols
Two of the recent books in the Methods in Molecular Biology series, Yeast Protocols and Pichia Protocols, have been narrowly focused on yeasts and, in the latter case, particular species of yeasts. Food Microbiology Pro- cols, of necessity, covers a very wide range of microorganisms. Our book treats four categories of microorganisms affecting foods: (1) Spoilage organisms; (2) pathogens; (3) microorganisms in fermented foods; and (4) microorganisms p- ducing metabolites that affect the flavor or nutritive value of foods. Detailed information is given on each of these categories. There are several chapters devoted to the microorganisms associated with fermented foods: these are of increasing importance in food microbiology, and include one bacteriophage that kills the lactic acid bacteria involved in the manufacture of different foods—cottage cheese, yogurt, sauerkraut, and many others. The other nine chapters give procedures for the maintenance of lactic acid bacteria, the isolation of plasmid and genomic DNA from species of Lac- bacillus, determination of the proteolytic activity of lactic acid bacteria, det- mination of bacteriocins, and other important topics.

Responses of Plants to Environmental Stresses
Environmental abiotic stresses, such as extreme temperatures, drought, excess light, salinity, and nutrient deficiency, have detrimental effects on plant growth, development, and yield. Plants are equipped with various adaptation mechanisms to cope with such unfavorable conditions. Our understanding of plants' abiotic stress responses is crucial to maintaining efficient plant productivity. This book on the responses of plants to environmental stresses is an attempt to find answers to several basic questions related to their adaptation and protective mechanisms against abiotic stresses. The following chapters of the book describe examples of plants' protective strategies, which cover physiological, cellular, biochemical, and genomic mechanisms. This book is aimed for use by advanced students and researchers in the area of stress biology, plant molecular biology and physiology, agriculture, biochemistry, as well as environmental sciences.
Parasitic and Infectious Diseases
There are at least two populations involved in any infectious disease process: the population of parasites that cause the disease and the population of hosts that are infected. Parasitic and Infectious Diseases: Epidemiology and Ecology focuses on the interface between these two populations. The various chapters demonstrate how combined field, experimental, and theoretical studies aid in our understanding of the dynamics of infectious disease processes and in formulating control strategies. Moving from the basics of mathematical modeling and epidemiological principles to case studies of human, livestock, and wild animal infections, the editors have assembled a book of tremendous value to res...
Nanotechnology Environmental Health and Safety
Nanotechnology Environmental Health and Safety informs the readers about the quantitative analysis and the safety issues of nanotechnology in the healthcare research. It throws light on the relation between nanotechnology and the occupational health and enumerates the various risks and benefits for medical diagnosis and treatment. Also discussed in the book nanotechnology-related environment, health, and safety research, the ergonomic challenges for nanotechnology safety and health practices, the ethical and scientific issues of nanotechnology in the workplace, management of nanomaterials safety in research environment, risk assessment and risk management of nanomaterials in the workplace and the prospects of using nanotechnology for food preservation, safety, and security.
