Product Description: Mollicutes are a class of simple bacteria characterized by the lack of a bacterial cell wall and their very small genomes (580 kb to 2200 kb). This phylogenetically coherent group contains a broad range of different plant and animal pathogens, making it an ideal model for understanding gene function, gene regulation, and the evolution of virulence factors in other bacterial pathogens...read more

Product Description: was the result of the efforts of Robert Cleverdon. The rapidly developing discipline of molecular biology and the rapidly expanding knowledge of the PPLO were brought together at this meeting. In addition to the PPLO specialists, the conference invited Julius Marmur to compare PPLO DNA to DNA of other organisms; David Garfinkel, who was one of the first to develop computer models of metabolism; Cyrus Levinthal to talk about coding; and Henry Quastler to discuss information theory constraints on very small cells...read more

Shortly after his initiation into the Order of the Knights Templar, Sir Hugh St. Clair is drawn into the turbulence and violence of the First Crusade, until, broken by the savagery and slaughter, he is united with fellow members of the Order on a quest to uncover the true roots of the secret society that has guided their family for generations, in the first volume in a new historical trilogy. Reprint.

Product Description: Created by leading international experts, Mycoplasmas: Molecular Biology, Pathogenicity, and Strategies for Control represents a cutting-edge summary of current knowledge in the field. Mycoplasmas, or mollicutes, form a large group of bacteria that can infect humans, animals, and plants...read more

Product Description: Very Nice Book

Product Description: Mycoplasma are the smallest free-living prokaryotes lacking a cell wall and are, therefore, highly pleomorphic. This book is a contribution toward an understanding of the complex problems of tree diseases caused by mycoplasma-like organisms and their relatives.
