The book summarizes the achievements of the past decade in the
biochemistry, bioenergetics, structural and molecular biology of
respiratory processes in selected genera of the domain Bacteria
along with an extensive coverage of the redox chains of
extremophiles belonging to the Archaean domain. The volume is a
unique piece of work since it contains a series of chapters dealing
with metabolic features having important microbiological and
ecological relevance such as the use of ammonium, iron, methane,
sulfur and hydrogen as respiratory substrates or nitrous compounds
in denitrification processes. Particular attention is also
dedicated to peculiar groups of prokaryotes such as Gram positives,
acetic acid bacteria, pathogens of the genera Helicobacter and
Campylobacter, nitrogen fixing symbionts and free-living species,
oxygenic phototrophs (Cyanobacteria) and anoxygenic (purple
non-sulfur) phototrophs. The book is intended to be a long-term
source of information for Ph.D. students, researchers and
undergraduates from disciplines such as microbiology, biochemistry
and ecology, studying basic and applied sciences, medicine and
agriculture.
