Academic Press Microbiology of Metal Ions - Vol 70

Advances in Microbial Physiology, Volume 70, provides a deep look into the specialized field of microbiology through cutting-edge reviews. Published by Academic Press, this volume continues a long-standing tradition of delivering high-level scientific research to the academic community. This edition focuses on the complex roles of metal ions in biological processes. It covers critical topics such as bacterial hemoprotein sensors of NO, including H-NOX and NosP, and the role of manganese in marine microbiology. Readers will gain insights into nutritional immunity and fungal pathogenesis, specifically looking at the struggle for micronutrients at the host-pathogen interface. The text also examines transition metal homeostasis in Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae, along with research into metal-based combinations that target protein synthesis in fungi. Additionally, the volume explores the relationship between copper and antibiotics, including discovery and modes of action. This book serves as an essential resource for researchers and students studying biochemistry and microbial physiology.
