Pt. 1. Scientific Study of Microorganisms. 1. Development of Microbiology as a Scientific Discipline. 2. Methods for Studying Microorganisms -- Pt. 2. Microbial Physiology -- Cellular Biology. 3. Organization and Structure of Microorganisms. 4. Cellular Metabolism: Generation of Cellular Energy. 5. Cellular Metabolism: Biosynthesis of Macromolecules -- Pt. 3. Microbial Genetics -- Molecular Biology. 6. DNA Replication and Gene Expression. 7. Genetic Mutation, Recombination, and Mapping -- Pt. 4. Microbial Replication and Growth. 8. Viral Replication. 9. Bacterial Growth and Reproduction. 10. Control of Microbial Growth -- Pt. 5. Microorganisms and Human Diseases. 11. Immunology. 12. Epidemiology and Public Health: Disease Transmission, Diagnosis, and Prevention. 13. Medical Microbiology: Pathogenesis and Pathology of Infectious Diseases -- Pt. 6. Applied and Environmental Microbiology. 14. Microbial Ecology and Environmental Microbiology. 15. Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology -- Pt. 7. Microbial Diversity. 16. Microbial Systematics: Evolution, Phylogeny, and Classification. 17. Bacterial Diversity. 18. Archaeal Diversity. 19. Biodiversity of Eukaryotic Microorganisms: Fungi, Algae, and Protozoa.
Summary: Maintaining an emphasis on the principles of microbiology, this edition carefully and thoroughly expands its coverage of biodiversity and integrates more molecular detail. Details from cell structure and genetics, to immunology and pathogenicity, to taxonomy and phylogeny are covered. Also, based on recent taxonomic advances in RNA analysis, a new organization also makes this the first text to be divided by the three cell domains--Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes.
