Second Edition
Edited By
Moselio Schaechter, San Diego State University, CA, USA
Description
The Desk Encyclopedia of Microbiology, Second Edition is a single-volume comprehensive guide to microbiology for the advanced reader.
Derived from the six volume e-only Encyclopedia of Microbiology, Third Edition, it bridges the gap between introductory texts and specialized
reviews. Covering topics ranging from the basic science of microbiology to the current "hot" topics in the field, it will be invaluable
for obtaining background information on a broad range of microbiological topics, preparing lectures and preparing grant applications
and reports.
Audience
Microbiologists working in research, teaching, industry, and government.
