This approach emphasizes the importance of integrating new knowledge gained through basic research with applied research and development programs. A strong continuum of research and development, from the basic to the applied, facilitates the development of benefits for society. One of the new features of this edition is a presentation of the classification of bacteria in a totally new format following the scheme introduced in the first volume of the recently published Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. The authors also expanded and revised the material on metabolism, bacteria, genetics, and genetic engineering and reorganized the section on microorganisms and disease. Three valuable supplementary publications are available to accompany the new edition: an Instructor's Manual, a Student's Guide, and Laboratory Experiments in Microbiology. ER -
