Recent book reviews:

Bifidobacteria: Genomics and Molecular Aspects:
"I consider the book to be essential reading for every bifidobacteria researcher, from the PhD student to the experienced scientist, and also recommended reading for everyone with an interest in probiotics" from K. Venema (TNO Quality of Life, Zeist, the Netherlands) writing in Beneficial Microbes (2010) 1: 455-461. read more ...

Bifidobacteria: Genomics and Molecular Aspects:
"This book would be useful to all scientists working on the benefits of intestinal Bifidobacteria. The review of topics will help promote additional research in academic settings as well as industrial development of products. The authors of each chapter are well-recognized scientists from many different settings such as government, academia and industry ... There are few books focused on the benefits of resident bacteria. This book covers the topic of Bifidobacterium extensively and will lead other scientists to move into this area, and their research can lead to products that enhance human health." from Rebecca T. Horvat (University of Kansas Medical Center) writing in Doodys read more ...

Bifidobacteria: Genomics and Molecular Aspects:
"Leading scientists in the field present reviews that cover their specialist research topic. Well-written chapters cover topics ranging from ecology, phylogeny, genetics, genomics, metabolism, as well as the antibiotic and probiotic facets of Bifidobacteria ... the editors have done an excellent job in ensuring that the book is a good and enjoyable read. This work will be of general interest to microbiologists, immunologists as well as researchers in the medical field. It goes without saying that this is essential reading for all specialists in the field of Bifidobacteria." from Gary Sawers writing in BIOspektrum read more ...

Environmental Microbiology: Current Technology and Water Applications:
"For researchers and graduate students in environmental microbiology, related scientists, and regulators ... The mix of conventional and novel techniques should be very helpful to researchers." from SciTech Book News read more ...

Vaccine Design: Innovative Approaches and Novel Strategies:
"The authors share their expertise so other scientists can build on their work ... valuable information on current vaccines and the development of new vaccines, including technologies to identify and generate antigens for new vaccines" from Rebecca T. Horvat (University of Kansas Medical Center) writing in Doodys read more ...

Pathogenic Fungi: Insights in Molecular Biology:
"the authors have done a good job in bringing together disparate references pertaining to a fascinating but technically involved area of study" from Australian Journal of Medical Science November (2010) 31: 4. read more ...

PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization: The Essential Guide:
"The book provides a comprehensive selection of the most recently developed applications for PCR use ... This is an essential book for investigators using PCR technology. The PCR-related topics will be of interest to most, if not all, investigators engaged in research that uses this important technique ... a well-balanced book on the many potential uses of this powerful technique. It also provides a number of updated strategies for investigators interested in incorporating this technique in their research. The presentation is straightforward and is based on proven examples. The book should prove to be a valuable tool to all those interested in PCR technology." from Ruben Mestril (Loyola University Medical Center, USA) writing in Doodys read more ...

Molecular Phylogeny of Microorganisms:
"This book provides a timely assessment of current concepts in the molecular phylogeny of microbes since the foundations based on ribosomal RNA genes were described by Carl Woese more than 30 years ago ... I found this book to very informative both in defining the terms used by the authors, introducing each subject and also in providing good well-referenced reviews ... I found this book to be a mine of useful information and it gives some clear explanations of (to me) quite difficult concepts ... I would recommend this book to all microbiologists with an interest in molecular phylogeny." from Norman Fry (Health Protection Agency, UK) writing in Microbiology Today read more ...

Iron Uptake and Homeostasis in Microorganisms:
"... written by undoubted specialists in the field of the iron biology of micro-organisms ... well-written, comprehensive and, for a book of this type, contemporary. The contribution by Mark O'Brian and Elena Fabiano on iron uptake in the rhizobia was, I thought, especially well done" from Andrew Johnston (University of East Anglia, UK) writing in Microbiology Today read more ...

Bifidobacteria: Genomics and Molecular Aspects:
"... highly regarded authors ... an up-to-date analysis of various aspects of bifidobacterial biology that is well-written, informative and uses high-quality graphics ... aspects like probiotic traits, safety, physiology and ecology are covered ... the editors and authors should be congratulated on their approach and the finished work." from Glenn Gibson (University of Reading, UK) writing in Microbiology Today read more ...

Streptomyces: Molecular Biology and Biotechnology:
"This book would be appropriate for scientists working with higher level bacteria and it will serve as a major reference for scientists in this field for years to come." from Rebecca T. Horvat (University of Kansas Medical Center, USA) writing in Doodys read more ...
