Summary

"Biochemistry and Physiology of Anaerobic Bacteria will be of general interest to microbiologists, especially to investigators concerned with microbial physiology, energy generation in microorganisms, and metabolic potentials in environmental and industrial settings. The book should be of special interest to those who study anaerobes from a purely academic viewpoint as well as to investigators who are interested in metal-containing enzymes and proteins."--BOOK JACKET.
