Biochemistry and Physiology of Anaerobic Bacteria

 Biochemistry and Physiology of Anaerobic Bacteria

This scientific reference explores the diverse metabolism, molecular biology, and physiological characteristics of anaerobic bacteria. Edited by Lars G. Ljungdahl, Michael W. Adams, and other contributors, it examines how these microorganisms function without oxygen, including their metabolic pathways and protein transport mechanisms. The book also highlights applications in wastewater treatment, clinical diagnosis, and the management of bacterial infections.
