The third edition of this authoritative reference work is indispensable to Bacillus scientists and invaluable for anyone involved in bacterial cell biology. Revised, updated and expanded with two new chapters on motility and nucleotide regulation, the new edition provides up-to-date reviews on current Bacillus research. Subjects covered include chromosome replication, DNA repair, chromosome segregation, cell division, transcription and translation, RNA-mediated regulation, general and regulatory proteolysis, the MreB cytoskeleton, membrane proteins, the cell wall, sporulation, biofilms, multicellularity and social behaviour, competence and transformation, motility and nucleotide regulation. An essential book for anyone involved in Bacillus and an invaluable reference work for those working in fields as diverse as medicine, biotechnology, agriculture, food and industry. A recommended acquisition for all microbiology laboratories.

"The Diverse Faces of Bacillus cereus elucidates salient characteristics of this microorganism, from its environmental and ecologic relevance, to its veterinary involvement and its medical aspects, the latter including several and diverse syndromes such as the most common Bacillus cereus-associated foodborne poisoning and the less frequent airway disease mimicking anthrax. Bacillus cereus has an almost ubiquitary environmental distribution and may cause serious, even fatal, human diseases as well. The bacterium, nevertheless, is also used as a biocontrol agent to face microorganism-related vegetable decay due to its natural antimicrobial properties. Once considered as a mere colonizer or contaminant, in fact, Bacillus cereus is nowadays acquiring increasing importance both as an agent of infections and as an organism of biotechnological and agricultural interest. Also, researchers, clinicians, and students alike will benefit from this clear compendium on the phenotype-based and molecular techniques and procedures that may be adopted or followed to correctly identify this intriguing multi-faceted microorganism."--

This volume presents a comprehensive perspective of the biopesticides Bacillus thuringiensis and Lysinibacillus sphaericus, from their basic biology to agriculture, forestry and public-health applications. It covers their ecology, virulence factors, and genetic characterization. The topics related to agriculture and forestry include mode of action, receptors of insect pests, and heterologous expression of toxins in insect cells and plants. Public-health researchers will find information on vector control programs with an emphasis on the Neotropical region. The book also discusses new products and the global market.
