Providing basic knowledge and practical information in a clear and concise single volume, the second edition of this book provides in-depth chapters on all aspects of the field, from classical microbiology to genomics. Reflecting the recent, sweeping changes in the field, yet retaining the popular format of the original, this second edition includes many chapter rewrites and more than 20 new or expanded chapters. Various brief taxonomy chapters from the first edition are now complete chapters with descriptions of genus and species, and several tables have been updated and revised along with the addition of a new survey table of selected eubacteria.
