All you need to know about Prokaryotes

The classical reference on bacteria now available again in print

Throughout in color

Almost double the contents of the last edition

Retaining the qualities that cemented its reputation as a classic reference in the field, the revised Third Edition of The Prokaryotes represents a comprehensive update - and a dramatic expansion - of its predecessor.

Hundreds of articles by experts from around the world describe taxa of relevance to the fields of medicine, ecology and industry. These entries combine phylogenetic and systematic data with insights into genetics, physiology and application. In addition to articles on newly classified prokaryotes, the existing entries have been revised and broadened to incorporate more than a decade of rapid progress and technological innovation in prokaryotic microbiology.

The Prokaryotes, Third Edition improves on the lucid presentation, logical layout and abundance of illustration that readers have come to count on, adding color illustration throughout. The new edition expands from four to seven volumes in its print form, and adds a new, searchable online version.
