Microbial physiology, biochemistry and genetics allowed the
formulation of concepts that turned out to be important in the
study of higher organisms. In the first section, the principles of
bacterial growth are given, as well as the description of the
different layers that enclose the bacterial cytoplasm, and their
role in obtaining nutrients from the outside media through
different permeability mechanism described in detail. A chapter is
devoted to allostery and is indispensable for the comprehension of
many regulatory mechanisms described throughout the book. Another
section analyses the mechanisms by which cells obtain the energy
necessary for their growth, glycolysis, the pentose phosphate
pathway, the tricarboxylic and the anaplerotic cycles. Two chapters
are devoted to classes of microorganisms rarely dealt with in
textbooks, namely the Archaea, mainly the methanogenic bacteria,
and the methylotrophs. Eight chapters describe the principles of
the regulations at the transcriptional level, with the necessary
knowledge of the machineries of transcription and translation. The
next fifteen chapters deal with the biosynthesis of the cell
building blocks, amino acids, purine and pyrimidine nucleotides and
deoxynucleotides, water-soluble vitamins and coenzymes, isoprene
and tetrapyrrole derivatives and vitamin B12. The two last chapters
are devoted to the study of protein-DNA interactions and to the
evolution of biosynthetic pathways. The considerable advances made
in the last thirty years in the field by the introduction of gene
cloning and sequencing and by the exponential development of
physical methods such as X-ray crystallography or nuclear magnetic
resonance have helped presenting metabolism under a
multidisciplinary attractive angle.
