| Summary |
"Explores the study of the invisible world of microorganisms, introducing readers to the main principles of microbiology, its importance, and its many real-world applications. Microorganisms are all around us; many live on or in the human body. They play a crucial role in oxygenating the atmosphere, in optimizing agricultural soil, in pharmaceutical development, in genetic engineering, and last but not least, in gaining control over deadly infectious disease outbreaks. Topics covered in this volume include: major groups of microorganisms; adaptive immunity; microorganisms and human disease; environmental microbiology, applied and industrial microbiology; and microbiomes."--Page ix. |
