Unlock the science of how bacteria live and grow, from energy flow to cell division.
This concise, instructor‑level overview presents the physiology of bacteria through a practical lens. It emphasizes physico‑chemical principles, experimental methods, and the relationships between growth, fermentation, energy use, and death. The book outlines how researchers measure growth, energy yields, and fermentation rates, while clarifying how cells build and consume their building blocks. It is written to be critical and readable, with summaries that help distinguish facts from theory.
- Foundational concepts on energy sources, fermentation, and growth in bacteria and other simple life forms.
- Discussions of how temperature, substrate concentration, and cell density affect growth and fermentation.
- Guidance on interpreting data, including rates, endpoints, and experimental design.
- Historical context and the author’s balanced presentation of competing ideas.
Ideal for readers of microbiology and physiology who want a clear, applied view of how microorganisms function in real systems.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an investigation into the physiological functions of bacteria. Its analysis of metabolism, growth, and death seeks to go beyond mere observation of the phenomena, examining instead the chemical and physical processes involved. Providing needed context for the author's research, the opening chapter outlines the relatively recent historical trajectory that led to a robust understanding of microbiology, setting the stage for the deeper exploration of bacterial physiology that the author undertakes. The book proceeds to examine the energy requirements of microorganisms and the various ways in which energy is acquired. Next, the author considers the processes of growth, the construction of bacterial cells from raw materials, and the factors influencing bacterial growth rates. The book concludes by examining bacterial death, particularly as related to starvation, poisons, temperature, and desiccation. The author offers a new interpretation of the causes of death based on his study of the gradual decomposition of living matter. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the functioning of bacteria. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field, and its insights into the fundamental processes of life are significant to our understanding of all living organisms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
