Biology of Bacteria, The

Synopsis

Looks at bacteria, showing the range of behaviours seen in living bacteria, how they obtain nutrients through ‘external digestions’ and how to use sterile techniques for culturing them. Shows the role of bacteria in maintaining the biosphere, including oxygen production by cyanobacteria, decomposition, nitrogen fixation and how pathogenic bacteria trick their human hosts into passing their infection on to others.
