This book integrates microbiology and chemistry and looks at the effects of metals on microorganisms and, in turn, the effects of microorganisms on metals and their compounds. The accelerating impact of molecular biology will be felt, particularly in the elucidation of the structure of proteins that bind, transport or have their function modulated by metals. The book begins with coverage of those aspects of coordination chemistry central to an understanding of biological function and discuss the difficulties of analyzing metals in biological systems. An account of the nutritional requirements of microorganisms for growth also highlights experimental difficulties, in this case ... Read more

Reviews for Metals and Microorganisms
This well-presented book describes metal-microbe interactions from a chemical and microbiological perspective... The authors are to be commended for tackling this huge field...this book is essential for specialists and should also be read by a wider audience as an education on metal involvement in all aspects of microbial growth and metalbolism. ...
