Description

This scientific text examines the complex biological processes of starvation across various species. Part of the Biotechnology in Agriculture, Industry and Medicine series, the book provides a detailed look at the physiological landscape of the stationary phase and the molecular events that allow Mycobacterium smegmatis to survive prolonged nutritional deprivation. Readers will explore the biochemical aspects of starvation in yeasts and the prokaryotic response to amino acid deprivation in bacteria. The text also addresses global health topics, including the epidemiology of hunger, the hunger-obesity paradox, and the effects of maternal under-nutrition on intra-uterine growth retardation. This resource is designed for professionals and students interested in the physiological changes and biological responses to nutritional stress.
