Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Bacteria is a comprehensive volume
describing all aspects of non-oxygen-evolving photosynthetic bacteria. The
62 chapters are organized into themes of: Taxonomy, physiology and ecology;
Molecular structure of pigments and cofactors; Membrane and cell wall structure;
Antenna structure and function; Reaction center structure and electron/proton
pathways; Cyclic electron transfer; Metabolic processes; Genetics; Regulation
of gene expression, and applications. The chapters have all been written
by leading experts and present in detail the current understanding of these
versatile microorganisms.
The book is intended for use by advanced undergraduate and graduate students
and senior researchers in the area of microbiology, genetics, biochemistry,
biophysics and biotechnology.
