Reviews

From the reviews:“This book … deals with one of the most dynamic trends in Biology, namely Systems Biology of Microorganisms. … Most of the chapters are of direct and immediate usefulness for scientists to start their own experiments with respect to different aspects of systems biology of a given microorganism or community/environment. … In my opinion, the purpose of this book … to introduce the reader to some of the established and state-of-the-art technologies that are being used to study microbial systems biology – is fully accomplished.” (Ioan I. Ardelean, Romanian Journal of Biochemistry, Vol. 50 (1), 2013)
