in marine microbial mats and stromatolites and was conducted in the laboratory of Pieter T. Visscher at

Microbial Symbioses with Microbes, Plants, and Animals UNIT VI: MICROBE-HUMAN INTERACTIONS AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM David A. Stahl received his B.S. degree in Microbiology from the University of Washington, Seattle, 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. and was conducted in the laboratory of Thomas M. Schmidt in affiliation with the Center for Microbialfellow 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 of 16S rRNA-based sequence analysis to the study of natural microbial communities. In 1984 Dave joined Revised Microbiology Now chapter showcases current microbiology research, contextualizes chapter content, and adds relevancy with visual content. 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 of

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. the faculty at the University of Illinois with appointments in Veterinary Medicine, Microbiology, and Civildiversity, 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 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.
