Opens with a broad overview of microbial physiology, including metabolism, genetics, and the general parameters of cell structure and function. This is followed by detailed coverage of cell structure and the utilization of carbohydrates and other substrates for energy production and as precursors for various cell constituents. Covers in detail lipid synthesis, metabolism, and function; metabolism of nitrogenous compounds and the biosynthesis of amino acids, purines, and pyrimidines; synthesis of RNA, DNA, and proteins; genetics and the genetic regulation of activities of microorganisms; growth; and the formation of dormant forms (spores).
