[February 03, 2010] Research and Markets: The Bacterial Signaling Book Is a Valuable Resource for All Advanced Students In Microbiology Tweet Dublin, Feb 03, 2010 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c0c800/bacterial_signalin) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Bacterial Signaling" to their offering. Providing a comprehensive insight into cellular signaling processes in bacteria, this is the first book to cover intercellular, transmembrane, as well as intra-cellular signaling and its relevance for biofilm formation, differentiation, host pathogen interactions, symbiotic relationships, chemotaxis and various stress responses. In addition, the book deals in detail with principal bacterial signaling mechanisms making this a valuable resource for all advanced students in microbiology. Reinhard Krmer is an expert in intracellular signaling and its implications for biotechnology processes, while Kirsten Jung is an expert in intercellular communication and transmembrane signaling. Key Topics Covered: INTERCELLULAR COMMUNICATION - Intercellular Communication: Introduction - Cell-cell Communication and Biofilm Formation in Gram-positive Bacteria - Cell-cell Communication in Biofilms of Gram-negative Bacteria - Cell Interactions Guide the Swarming and Fruiting Body Development of Myxobacteria - Communication between Rhizobia and Plants - Communication between Pathogens and Eukaryotic Cells - Identification of Bacterial Autoinducers (Methods Chapter) TRANSMEMBRANE SIGNALING - Transmembrane Signaling: Introduction - Outer Membrane Signaling in Gram-negative Bacteria - Stimulus Perception and Signaling by Histidine Kinases - Chemotaxis and Receptor Localization - Photoreception and Signal Transduction - Transmembrane Signaling - Sensory Transport Proteins - Regulated Intramembrane Proteolysis in Bacterial Transmembrane Signaling - Protein Chemical and EPR Spectroscopic Approaches to Monitor Membrane Protein Structure and Dynamics (Methods Chapter) INTRACELLULAR SIGNALING - Intracellular Signaling: Introduction - Protein Domains Involved in Intracellular Signal Transduction - Sensing of Oxygen by Bacteria - Microbial Sensor Systems for Dihydrogen, Nitric Oxide, and Carbon-monoxide - Signal Transduction by Trigger Enzymes: Bifunctional Enzymes and Transporters Controlling Gene Expression - Regulation of Carbohydrate Utilization by Phosphotransferase System-Mediated Protein Phosphorylation - Cyclic AMP Signaling in Prokaryotes - Cyclic-di-GMP Signaling - ppGpp Signaling - Sensory RNAs - Signal Transduction by Serine/Threonine Protein Kinases in Bacteria - Regulated Proteolysis and Signal Transduction in Bacteria - Intracellular Signaling and Gene Target Analysis (Methods Chapter) Author: Reinhard Krmer is chair in Biochemistry at Cologne University, Germany. After studying Biochemistry at the Universities of Tbingen and Munich, he obtained his Ph.D. from LMU Munich. He then spent 10 years at the Research Center Jlich (Institute of Biotechnology) and the University of Dsseldorf as an Associate Professor for Biochemistry before taking up his present position at Cologne University. During his scientific career, R. Krmer has focused on different aspects of membrane transport proteins, both in mitochondria and in prokaryotes, as well as on stress response in bacteria, in particular osmotic stress. Kirsten Jung studied biochemistry and performed her doctoral thesis at the University of Leipzig in 1988. After postdoctoral studies at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, she continued her research at the University of Osnabrck. In 2002 she was appointed as Associate Professor for Microbiology at the Technical University of Darmstadt, and in 2004 she became Full Professor and Chair for Microbiology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitt Munich. Research of Kirsten Jung is focused on the molecular mechanisms of stimulus perception by sensor kinases involved in environmental stress response.
