The Purple Phototrophic Bacteria
Springer (Verlag)
978-94-024-0468-5 (ISBN)
The Purple Phototrophic Bacteria is a comprehensive survey of all aspects of these fascinating bacteria, the metabolically most versatile organisms on Earth. This volume is organized into the following sections: Physiology, Evolution and Ecology; Biosynthesis of Pigments, Cofactors and Lipids; Antenna Complexes: Structure, Function and Organization; Reaction Center Structure and Function; Cyclic Electron Transfer Components and Energy Coupling Reactions; Metabolic Processes; Genomics, Regulation and Signaling; and New Applications and Techniques. This book is a compilation of 48 authoritative chapters, written by leading experts who highlight the huge progress made in spectroscopic, structural and genetic studies of these bacteria since 1995, when the last book on this topic was published.
C. Neil Hunter is an authority on the biosynthesis of bacteriochlorophylls, chlorophylls and carotenoids and on the assembly and organization of bacterial photosynthetic membranes. Fevzi Daldal is an authority on the structure, function, regulation, proteomics and biogenesis of membrane cytochromes in Rhodobacter species. Marion C. Thurnauer is an authority on the analysis of reaction center photochemistry by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. J. Thomas Beatty is an authority on many aspects of photosynthetic bacteria; their ecology and regulation of gene expression, as well as biochemical and functional analysis of photosynthetic complexes.
