Zusatztext Most of the major laboratories contributing to these advances in the study of Burkholderia are represented in this book! which is a thorough and authoritative summary of our current knowledge. The chapters are well written! easy to follow and flow in a logical order. The book is essential reading for those moving into Burkholderia research and provides extremely useful reference material for those already there. In addition! many of the chapters will appeal to students and researchers with broader interests such as the social behaviour of micro-organisms and the use of infection models. Society for General Microbiology! August 2007 Informationen zum Autor Tom Coenye Klappentext This volume brings together the expertise and enthusiasm of an international panel of leading Burkholderia researchers to provide a state-of-the art overview of these important organisms.
