Until recently, bacteria were frequently depicted as "bags of
enzymes" in which proteins and DNA were distributed relatively
haphazardly compared with animal and plant cells. Research
performed over the past decade has revolutionized our understanding
of bacterial cells, however, revealing that they are in fact highly
organized and contain numerous subcompartments. Written and edited
by experts in the field, this volume includes contributions
discussing the three dimensional organization of the bacterial
cell, various subcellular structures found in bacteria, membrane
bounded organelles such as magnetosomes, and the organization of
the cell membrane. Other chapters examine the recently identified
bacterial cytoskeletal filaments which turn out to be remarkably
similar to their eukaryotic counterparts as well as the roles of
these filaments in morphogenesis and cytokinesis. Also covered are
the extraordinary organization of the bacterial genome and the
dynamic mechanisms that couple its replication and partitioning at
cell division. In addition, the book reviews the various different
multicellular structures bacteria can form, such as biofilms, along
with new imaging techniques that promise to reveal even more about
their subcellular machinery. It is thus of interest to
microscopists and biochemists, as well as all microbiologists and
cell biologists interested in how bacteria and other prokaryotes
function.
