Description

Ideal for microbiology/science majors�

The third edition�of�Microbiology�provides�in-depth�coverage of the�science�of microscopic organisms.�Providing a balanced presentation of�foundational concepts, real-world�applications,�and current research and experimentation, this comprehensive textbook�facilitates�a thorough understanding of the scope, nature, and complexity of microbiology. The text�approaches the subject within�the�context of exploration and experimentation,�integrating�a wealth of classroom-tested pedagogical features.�The material�is organized�around�the three pillars of physiology, ecology and genetics�–�helping�students appreciate the interconnected and dynamic nature of�microbiology�as they explore�individual microbes�and�the relation�between different types of microbes,�other organisms, and�the environment.� �

Detailed yet accessible chapters�illustrate how an experiment proceeds, explain how microbes replicate, clarify the flow of concept processes, and summarize key points. Challenging end-of-chapter questions both test students’ understanding of the material and strengthen critical thinking skills.�This�new�edition�contains up-to-date coverage of topics including�DNA�replication and�gene�expression, viral�pathogenesis, microbial�biotechnology,�adaptive�immunity, the control of�infectious�diseases,�the�microbiology of�food and�water, and�integrated coverage of COVID-19.�
