Brock Biology of Microorganisms, Global Edition Summary

Brock Biology of Microorganisms, Global Edition by Michael Madigan

Get a solid understanding of the major concepts in microbiology with a textbook t hat offers cutting-edge research findings, powerful tools, and visuals.

Brock Biology of Microorganisms, Global Edition, 16th Edition is the latest version of the most authoritative textbook in the field, offering powerful, accurate, yet accessible content surrounding the basic concepts of microbiology.

The text guides you through the six major themes of microbiology Evolution, Cell Structure and Function, Metabolic Pathways, Information Flow and Genetics, Microbial Systems, and the Impact of Microorganisms as outlined by the American Society for Microbiology Conference on Undergraduate Education (ASMCUE).

Following a modern robust approach, the book supports your knowledge of the genomics and other omics" maze - concepts that are fundamental to the field and have transformed and revolutionised microbiology. Furthermore, it provides concrete examples of how powerful tools have allowed microbiologists to probe deeper and further into the microbial world than ever before.

About Michael Madigan

Michael T. Madigan has taught courses in introductory Microbiology and Bacterial Diversity for 33 years as a Professor of Microbiology at the Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Mike's research focuses on phototrophic bacteria that inhabit extreme environments, and for the past 20 years, his emphasis has been Antarcticmicrobiology.

Kelly S. Bender is' an Associate Professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and has served as Chair of the SIUC Department of Microbiology since 2018. Kelly teaches courses in introductory Microbiology and Microbial Diversity, and her lab studies a range of topics, including regulation of sulphate-reducing bacteria and the microbial community dynamics of sites impacted by acid mine drainage.

Daniel H. Buckley is a Professor at Cornell University in the School of Integrative Plant Science and the Department of Microbiology. He has taught both introductory and advanced courses in Microbiology, Microbial Diversity, and Microbial Genomics. He currently serves on the editorial boards of Applied and Environmental Microbiology and Environmental Microbiology.

Matthew Sattleyis a Professor of Biology at the Division of Natural Sciences, Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU), and has served as the Director of the Hodson Summer Research Institute, a faculty-led summer research program for undergraduate students in the Natural Sciences. Matts research group investigates the ecology, diversity, and genomics of bacteria that inhabit extreme environments.
