Microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry and cellular biology

Microbiologists investigate the amazing world of organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye. Although they're known by many different titlesincluding molecular biologists, biochemists, and cell biologistsall microbiologists are scientists who study living organisms and infectious agents, many of which can only be seen with a microscope. They also study the interaction of these tiny organisms with people, how they exist and affect our lives. Microbiologists work with many other scientists and have a vast range of opportunities. This book offers up-to-date, in-depth coverage of this growing field of study.Selected Contents: Structural Studies of the Enterococcus faecalis SufU [Fe-S] Cluster Protein; A Novel Method for Screening the Glutathione Transferase Inhibitors; Dictyostelium Cells Bind a Secreted Autocrine Factor that Represses Cell Proliferation; Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1); Effects of Physico-Chemical Factors on its Survival; A Highly Divergent South African Geminivirus Species Illuminates the Ancient Evolutionary History of this Family; Exogenous Re-Infection by a Novel Streptococcus Pneumoniae Serotype 14 as a Cause of Recurrent Meningitis in a Child from the Gambia; Antimicrobial Activity of Some Sulfonamide Derivatives on Clinical Isolates of Staphylococus Aureus; The Cell Nuclei of Skeletal Muscle Cells are Transcriptionally Active in Hibernating Edible Dormice; Comparative Characterization of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Egfp Transgenic and Non-Transgenic Mice; Aggresomes Do Not Represent a General Cellular Response to Protein Misfolding in Mammalian Cells; Campylobacter jejuni Survives Within Epithelial Cells by Avoiding Delivery to Lysosomes; A Functional Genomic Yeast Screen to Identify Pathogenic Bacterial Proteins; Characterization of Bacillus Anthracis Arginase: Effects of Ph, Temperature, and Cell Viability on Metal Preference; Chapare Virus, a Newly Discovered Arenavirus Isolated From a Fatal Hemorrhagic Fever Case in Bolivia; Identification of a Bacterial-Like HslVU Protease in the Mitochondria Of Trypanosoma Brucei And Its Role in Mitochondrial DNA Replication; The Evolutionary Genetics and Emergence of Avian Influenza Viruses in Wild Birds; Index
