Microbial Signalling and Communication

Klappentext Presents information at the forefront of this exciting field and includes contributions on a range of organisms and signalling molecules. Zusammenfassung Microbial chemical signals have been found to regulate diverse metabolic reactions and processes such as antibiotic production! pathogenesis and differentiation. This volume presents information at the forefront of this exciting field and includes contributions on a range of organisms (both prokaryote and eukaryote! unicellular and multi-cellular) and signalling molecules.
