It is a pleasure to announce the release of a popular science book about bacteria, entitled 'Bacteria: the Benign, the Bad and the Beautiful'. This book describes various aspects of bacteria in short illustrated chapters. It is aimed for a general public so no previous knowledge about bacteria is required to learn about a number of fundamental characteristics about bacteria. The book is also of interest to students and professionals, as it describes novel scientific insights from diverse fields of microbiology. The book is published by John Wiley & Sohns and can be ordered here.
The field of bacterial genetics has developed tremendously the past decade, and that of genomics es evolving even faster. This is acknowledged in the preparation of a new textbook, which Trudy Wassenaar is preparing in collaboration with David Ussery (DTU). The book is expected to come out towards the end of 2012.
