This book gives an outline of the structure of bacteria, their methods of growth, &c., and the details necessary for their examination in the laboratory. The most important and well-known varieties are dealt with separately, and sufficient information is given for their identification. A short appendix is added on yeasts and moulds, with an account of the apparatus used in the examination of ai...

The molecular study of life is in the midst of a challenging transformation. Information and insights gained from characterization of individual cellular components have established a platform from which to take the next step, i.e., to address molecular activity in a living cell. In a cell, spatial localization, limited numbers of molecules, and molecular crowding define an environment unlike t...
