This book is appropriate for advanced undergraduate students of
micro biology and biological sciences in universities and colleges,
as well as for research workers entering the field and requiring a
broad contemporary view of anaerobic bacteria and associated
concepts. Obligate anaerobes, together with microaerophils, are
characterized by their sensitivity to oxygen. This dictates
specialized laboratory methods a fact which has led to many
students being less familiar with anaerobes than their distribution
and importance would warrant The metabolic strategies such as
methanogenesis, an oxygenic photosynthesis and diverse fermenta
tive pathways which do not have equivalents in aerobic bacteria
also make anaerobes worthy of attention. In these limited pages an
attempt has been made to cover the varied aspects of anaerobic
bacteria, and a bibliography has been included, which will allow
individual topics to be pursued in greater detail. We are grateful
to Mrs Winifred Webster and Mrs Hilary Holdsworth for typing the
manuscript and to the Leeds University Audio Visual Service for
preparing the figures. Finally, our thanks go to the students,
postgradu ates and wives who read and criticized the manuscript."
