The smallest reported microorganisms with the smallest known cell genomes, mycoplasma species are significant pathogens of humans, animals, plants, and insects, as well as major contaminants of cell cultures. This comprehensive reference brings together some 60 scientists from around the world who contribute their expertise in analyzing all aspects of mycoplasmology research, including taxonomy and ecology; growth and metabolism; structure and function of subcellular elements; motility and chemotaxis; DNA replication, transcription, and translation; gene transfer; genetic and phenotypic variation; and molecular determinants of pathogenicity and phylogeny. This basic microbiology is used as background for intensive reviews of the identification, pathogenicity, and treatment of pathogenic mycoplasmas. Member price, $89.
