Starvation in Bacteria

This monograph provides a current, comprehensive review of the starvation and stationary phase biology of non-differentiating bacteria. Genetics and adaptation techniques of several species are explored in detail, as well as prevailing ecosystem conditions that lead to intermittent growth or long-term starvation. Researchers seeking an understanding of the far-reaching implications of bacterial starvation in bacterial physiology and ecology, applied bacteriology, and environmental biotechnology will find no substitute for this work.
