Summary

• The genetics of bacteria and their viruses are fundamental to modern biology. Genetic investigations and manipulations of bacteria and bacteriophage have made vital contributions to our basic understanding of living cells and to the development of genetic engineering and biotechnology.
• Bacterial and Bacteriophage Genetics provides students with a comprehensive yet concise introduction to this rapidly advancing subject. The third edition has been extensively revised and reorganized and three additional chapters provide new information and an improved flow of material for the student.
