The Fourth Edition of Microbial Physiology retains the logical, easy-to-follow organization of the previous editions. An introduction to cell structure and synthesis of cell components is provided, followed by detailed discussions of genetics, metabolism, growth, and regulation for anyone wishing to understand the mechanisms underlying cell survival and growth. This comprehensive reference approaches the subject from a modern molecular genetic perspective, incorporating new insights gained from various genome projectsThe Manual is the result of a tremendous amount of organizing, copyediting, proofreading, and attending to details. We are indebted to the staff at Elsevier for all their hard work, particularly Ms. Jolynn Gower, Managing Editor. Thanks also to Ms. Joy Moore, Senior Project Manager. We also thank Ms. Sarah Self, Production Editor and the staff at Graphic World Publishing Services. Finally, we appreciate the work of our very talented medical illustrator, Ms. Felecia Paras.
