Description
Description
Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacteria is a comprehensive overview of phototrophic bacteria
covering the following: overview of photosynthesis and phototrophic bacteria; systematics
and characteristics of each taxon; ecology and cultivation; photosynthetic electron
transfer systems; metabolism; pigments and lipids; light-harvesting systems and reaction
centers; photosynthetic genes and regulation of gene expression; origin and evolution of
photosynthesis; and the utilization of phototrophic bacteria.
Chapters are written by some of Japan’s leading researchers in the area, providing researchers
in photosynthesis, bacterial physiology, microbial ecology, artificial photosynthesis,
biophysics, biochemistry, industrial chemistry a highly detailed, up-to-date and thoroughly
cross-referenced book in this interdisciplinary area. With very few books being published over
the last 25 years on the topic, this book especially fills a crucial need for young researchers
and those working at the margins of interdisciplinary fields.
