Anaerobic Bacteria: A Functional Biology

By Paul N. Levett

Starting with an introduction to anaerobic bacteria, it then goes on to discuss the cultivation of anaerobes by describing anaerobic jars, cabinets and roll-tube techniques. The beginning chapter ends with a discussion of preservation and identification of anaerobes. Subsequent chapters refer to the taxonomy, ecology and biochemistry of these organisms, and the last two chapters address the problems of anaerobes in medical and veterinary situations and the industrial importance of obligate anaerobes. Also includes recent references and an index.
