Rent 9780132396882 | Microbiology Perspectives : A Photographic Survey of the Microbial World

Summary Table of Contents Author Biography

This photo atlas covers in a systematic way a wide range of microorganisms and their activities. Students learn the characteristics of various types of microorganisms covered in introductory microbiology-along with pertinent information about microorganism-caused disease (bacterial, fungal, protozoan, viral, helminthic). Abundant exercises help students learn to observe and recognize fundamental similarities and differences among microorganisms.

This extremely readable, well-illustrated, presentation covers a wide ... MORE
