In the last 100 years a combination of traditional and molecular methods have forged microbiology into a premier experimental science. Moreover, the link between discovery and application in the field of microbiology, a classic example of which is depicted on the front cover of this book, has deep roots and becomes stronger all the time. One of the giants of early microbiology was the Dutchman, Martinus Beijerinck. Beijerinck is credited with many original discoveries in microbiology, especially in the area of enrichment and isolation of soil bacteria. Shown on the front cover is a page from Beijerincks laboratory notebook dated June 9, 1887. On this page he made detailed notes and drawings about the bacteria that he cultured from the root nodules of leguminous plants-bacteria that were later discovered to fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into a form usable by the plant. Modern agriculture has exploited microbial nitrogen fixation by root nodule bacteria for the large-scale cultivation of nitrogen-fixing crops like peas and soybeans. The paintings of bacterial cells that overlay the notebook page, done in large format by Beijerincks sister, Henri?tte, were Beijerincks way of

Questa nuova edizione della Biologia dei Microrganismi di Brock, basata sulla undicesima edizione americana, dedica ancora più spazio ai concetti fondamentali di base, inserendoli nel quadro di una scienza moderna e in continua evoluzione quale è la Microbiologia. Per rendere il testo più facilmente adattabile alle diverse esigenze didattiche, l'edizione italiana dell'opera è stata suddivisa in tre volumi: il primo volume è dedicato alla Microbiologia generale mentre i successivi riguardano la Microbiologia ambientale e industriale e la Microbiologia biomedica. Come le precedenti edizioni, anche questo testo si contraddistingue per chiarezza espositiva trattazione degli argomenti più "molecolare" rispetto a quella di altri libri più tradizionali, ricchezza di iconografia (schemi e grafici) che facilita lo studio per le nuove generazioni, più abituate all'apprendimento visuale.

„Brock Mikrobiologie“ ist in den Annalen der Mikrobiologie-Lehrbücher ein echter Meilenstein. Seit über 40 Jahren, länger als alle anderen Lehrbücher für Mikrobiologie, führt „der Brock“ Studenten in das Gebiet der Mikrobiologie ein. Nun gibt es diesen Klassiker erstmals in einer gekürzten Kompakt-Ausgabe – perfekt abgestimmt auf die gängigen Curricula der Mikrobiologie-Module in Bachelorstudiengängen. Bei der Bearbeitung wurde großer Wert darauf gelegt, die vielen Stärken des Brock zu erhalten: Weiterhin stehen die einmalige Beschreibung der mikrobiellen Vielfalt, die zugehörige Genetik, Molekularbiologie und Biochemie sowie mikrobielle Gemeinschaften und Habitate im Mittelpunkt der Darstellung. Didaktisch hervorragend aufbereitet, akkurat geschrieben und mit hunderten brillanten Abbildungen und spektakulären Fotografien illustriert, schreibt das maßgebende Lehrbuch zur Einführung in die Mikrobiologie so auch in dieser Kompaktausgabe seine weltweite Erfolgsgeschichte fort.
