Master the biology of bacteria through practical, physico-chemical insights.
This guide presents growth, energy flow, and fermentation in clear terms, with a focus on how these processes work in real experiments. This edition frames a practical path for researchers, plant and animal physiologists, and students alike. It emphasizes separating growth from fermentation, comparing rates and end points, and evaluating energy use with careful measurements. It also notes the value of unpublished data and critical discussion to illuminate why theories succeed or fail.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an investigation into the physiological functions of bacteria. Its analysis of metabolism, growth, and death seeks to go beyond mere observation of the phenomena, examining instead the chemical and physical processes involved. Providing needed context for the author's research, the opening chapter outlines the relatively recent historical trajectory that led to a robust understanding of microbiology, setting the stage for the deeper exploration of bacterial physiology that the author undertakes. The book proceeds to examine the energy requirements of microorganisms and the various ways in which energy is acquired. Next, the author considers the processes of growth, the construction of bacterial cells from raw materials, and the factors influencing bacterial growth rates. The book concludes by examining bacterial death, particularly as related to starvation, poisons, temperature, and desiccation. The author offers a new interpretation of the causes of death based on his study of the gradual decomposition of living matter. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the functioning of bacteria. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field, and its insights into the fundamental processes of life are significant to our understanding of all living organisms.
