Microbial Genetics

Microbial Genetics focuses on the current state of knowledge on the genetics of bacteria, bacteriophages, and recombinant DNA technology and its applications in a way understandable to the students, teachers, and scientists. The book expounds on the specialized aspects of microbial genetics and technologies, keeping in mind the syllabi of different Indian universities at the post-graduate level. Latest information on microbial genetics has been outlined in the book in a lucid manner.

Key Features:
•          Details of the genetics of bacteria, bacteriophages, and recombinant DNA technology
•          Discussion of various areas of microbial genetics
•          Analysis of the field of bacterial molecular genetics enhanced by the contribution of a number of researchers
