Divided into 25 chapters, this volume begins by explaining the metabolic control of sporulation. It then talks about the structure, form, and function of peptidoglycans; the biological significance of chelation; the initiation of sporulation; and the role of highly phosphorylated nucleotides in sporulation. Notably, various organisms are described with respect to their sporulation characteristics.
