| Summary |
"Molecules in Time and Space reviews the data on the formation of subcellular patterns or structures in bacteria, presents observations and hypotheses on the establishment and the maintenance of cell shape, and on the organization of genetic information in the chromosome." "Molecules in Time and Space will be of interest to microbiologists, especially those with an interest in the structure of the bacterial cell and bacterial genetics and genomics. It will also be of use to biochemists, biophysicists and bioinformaticians interested in bacterial cytoskeletal proteins."--BOOK JACKET |
