Summary

"Bacterial and Bacteriophage Genetics is a survey of the genetics of bacteria and their viruses, and it provides students with a comprehensive introduction to this rapidly changing subject. The book is written for upper-class undergraduate and beginning graduate students, particularly those who have already had an introductory genetics course. A beginning course in microbiology would be helpful, but is not essential."--BOOK JACKET.
