Diversity summer course of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. He currently serves on the editorial boards of Applied and Environmental Microbiology and Environmental Microbiology. Dan lives in Ithaca, New York, with his wife, Merry, and sons, Finn and Colin. Mastering the principles of the dynamic field of microbiology today requires an understanding of supportive molecular biology. The result is a robust and modern treatment of microbiology that now includes exciting new chapters devoted to microbial systems biology, synthetic biology, the human microbiome, and the molecular biology of microbial growth. Revision Highlights: In 2010, Matt transitioned to the Division of Natural Sciences at Indiana Wesleyan University, where he is a Professor of Biology and Director of the Hodson Summer Research Institute, a faculty-led summer research program for undergraduate students in the Natural Sciences. His research group investigates the ecology, diversity, and genomics of bacteria that inhabit extreme environments. Matt is a member of the American Society for Microbiology (including its Indiana Branch) and the Indiana Academy of Science, and he currently serves as an expert reviewer for the undergraduate microbiology research journal Fine Focus. fellow with Norman Pace, then at the National Jewish Hospital in Colorado, involved early applications Chapter 4 has been reorganized to provide the streamlined view of molecular biology necessary for both supporting and understanding virtually all aspects of microbiology today

diversity, and microbial genomics. He received a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award in 2005 for excellence in integrating research and education. He has served as Director of the Graduate Field of Soil and Crop Sciences at Cornell and Co-Director of the Microbial Evolution as a Framework uses evolution as an overarching theme to unite microbiological concepts and provide a framework upon which students can build their knowledge. Enhanced Instructional Art Program enhances learning with three-dimensional renditions and bright, attractive colors. Expanded Molecular Microbiology and Immunologychapters deepen discussion of eukaryotic and archaeal genetics and reflects the relatedness of genetic information flow. A streamlined discussion of immunity with enhanced detail between innate and adaptive linkages helps students grasp the complexity and specificity of immune responses. Carbondale. His graduate studies focused on the microbiology of sulfur cycling and other biogeochemical processes in permanently ice-covered lakes of Antarctica. In his postdoctoral research at WashingtonThe Fifteenth Edition guides students through the six major themes of microbiology as outlined by the American Society for Microbiology Conference on Undergraduate Education (ASMCUE): Evolution, Cell Structure and Function, Metabolic Pathways, Information Flow and Genetics, Microbial Systems, and the Impact of Microorganisms. Thirty-three new Microbiology chapter-opening vignettes were composed for this edition, each designed to introduce a chapter’s theme through a recent discovery published in the microbiology literature.

David A. Stahl received his B.S. degree in Microbiology from the University of Washington, Seattle, The Fourteenth Edition and MasteringMicrobiology will provide a better teaching and learning experience —for you and your students. University in Saint Louis, he studied the physiology and genomics of anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria in Robert Blankenship’s laboratory. Matt then accepted a faculty appointment to the Department ofat Michigan State University. His graduate research focused on the ecology of soil microbial communities earned his B.S. in Microbiology (1994) at the University of Rochester and his Ph.D. in Microbiology (2000) Focus on today’s learners: Research-based activities, case studies, and engaging activities improve students’ ability to solve problems and make connections between concepts. Personalize learning: MasteringMicrobiology coaches students through the toughest microbiology topics. Engaging tools help students visualize, practice, and understand crucial content.

of 16S rRNA-based sequence analysis to the study of natural microbial communities. In 1984 Dave joined Chapter 11, “Genetics of Bacteria and Archaea,” has been streamlined to focus on the essential concepts of mutation and gene transfer in prokaryotic cells. New high-resolution images have been included to illustrate gene transfer processes.This chapter on microbial regulation includes broad coverage of the classic forms of regulation but has been streamlined by moving the regulation of cell differentiation and biofilm formation to Chapter 7; this allowed for enhanced coverage of hot new areas in metabolic regulation such as regulation by anti-sigma factors and transcriptional regulation in Archaea. the faculty at the University of Illinois with appointments in Veterinary Medicine, Microbiology, and Civil Enhanced Mastering Microbiology content features 33 new Microbiology Now Coaching Activities, Interactive Microbiology, and ASM Curriculum Guidelines pre- and post-test questions. Microbial cell structure and function are key pillars of microbiology, and this newly reworked and streamlined chapter offers a thorough introduction to comparative cell structure and provides the instructor with all of the tools necessary for effective classroom presentations. Coverage of nutrient transport systems has been moved to Chapter 3 to better present this topic in its proper context. More Annotated Figures clearly illustrate and explain all key metabolic pathways and molecular processes.

Subsequent work as a postdoctoral Ecology. Dan’s postdoctoral research examined linkages between microbial diversity and biogeochemistry Microbiologynow Microbial Hunter: Pseudomonas aeruginosa Senses and Scavenges Nutrients from Damaged Tissues Unit 2 is all about growth and begins with the Chapter 5 presentation of the essential principles of microbial growth and cultivation. Coverage of microbial growth control balances this chapter with a practical view of how microbial growth can be suppressed for both health and aesthetic reasons.

Revised Microbiology Now chapter showcases current microbiology research, contextualizes chapter content, and adds relevancy with visual content. In 2003 he received the Carski Award for Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching from the American Society for Microbiology, and he is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology. Mike’s research is focused on bacteria that inhabit extreme environments, and for the past 20 years, his emphasis has been Antarctic microbiology. Mike has co-edited a major treatise on phototrophic bacteria and served for 10 years as chief editor of the journal Archives of Microbiology.
