Bacterial Signaling

Providing a comprehensive insight into cellular signaling processes in bacteria, this is the first book to cover intercellular, transmembrane, as well as intra-cellular signaling and its relevance for biofilm formation, differentiation, host pathogen interactions, symbiotic relationships, chemotaxis and various stress responses. In addition, the book deals in detail with principal bacterial signaling mechanisms - making this a valuable resource for all advanced students in microbiology. Reinhard Kramer is an expert in intracellular signaling and its implications for biotechnology processes, while Kirsten Jung is an expert in intercellular communication and transmembrane signaling.
