'Developmental biology' is widely understood as processes, which
mainly concern embryonic animal development and differentiation of
cells and tissue. It is also often defined as the timeline for the
evolutionary developmental biology of eukaryotic multicellular
higher organisms, i.e., plants and animals. The development of
prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes in contrary has been neglected for
a long time, which was the motivation for publishing this book.
This book highlights one of Darwin's most important findings:
Evolution is a creative, but not a conscious process. It also
illustrates that this concept does not only apply to multicellular
higher organisms, but affects every form of life. The reader shall
find complex biochemical and genetic pathways of bacteria, yeasts
or protozoa, comparable to those exhibited by plants or animals.
The molecular mechanisms of dramatic genome rearrangements,
recombination and horizontal gene transfer that are responsible for
evolutionary adaptations are discussed. Additionally, the book
covers bacteria of the genera Myxobacteriales and Caulobacterales,
which are able to develop tissue-like cellular organization. The
morphogenesis of entomopathogenic fungi and the endosymbiont theory
are also addressed. The book is a useful introduction to the field
for junior scientists, interested in bacteriology, protistology and
fungal development. It is also an interesting read for advanced
scientists, giving them a broader view of the field beyond their
area of specialization.
