Handbook on Clostridia
CRC Press; 1 edition | June 15, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0849316189 | 920 pages | PDF | 9.8 MB

Clostridia is one of the largest bacterial genera with an enormous potential for biotechnical and medical applications. Despite growing scientific, medical, and industrial interest, information on basic methods, biochemical fundamentals, clinical practice, industrial applications, and novel developments remains scattered in a variety of research articles, reviews, and book chapters.

Responding to this gap in the literature, Handbook on Clostridia combines all of these topics into a single volume. The editor takes a global approach by presenting information on both Clostridia of biotechnological importance and Clostridia of medical importance. Experts in the field summarize methods, physiology, medical significance, regulation, ecosystems, genomics, and current and potential applications.
