Infos

Microbial responses to acidic and alkaline pH are important in many
areas of bacteriology. For example, the mechanisms of resistance to
acidic pH are important in the understanding of the passage of
human pathogens through the acid of the stomach; and an
understanding of microbial degradation of alkaline industrial waste
is important for the environment.

Bringing together contributions from an international and
interdisciplinary group of experts working on the many aspects of
bacterial cellular responses to pH, this stimulating volume draws
together new and innovative work in this area. It delineates both
similarities and differences between mechanisms of tolerance and
response, providing readers with an invaluable resource on the
subject.
