The writing is just bad, info could be organized better, informal tone for a textbook. The general lack of clarity is the biggest problem.Ex: "Under stressful conditions, some bacterial species can produce cells that stop dividing (remain in the B period of the cell cycle) but maintain a very low rate of metabolism. These, so-called persister cells, are spontaneously and naturally produced during the log phase of growth and are not the result of unfavorable environmental change"This doesn't make sense, it states a general phenomenon and then gives an example that doesn't fit. If persister cells are produced under favorable conditions, how is that an example of cells that stop dividing under stressful conditions? It doesn't go on to clarify and there are confusing statements like this throughout the book. I googled persister cells, and asked my professor about this too, apparently there is disagreement on whether stressful conditions directly cause dormant cells to form. The textbook should state that there are opposing thoughts on this, not juxtapose the 2 opposing thoughts with no explanation.
This book is very clear and precise regarding some topics, while mildly vague in others. Either way, it has numerous pictures and real-life applications that help with the clarity and comprehension of the content. The textbook makes the tough subject of Microbiology much easier to maneuver.This is an expensive book, so I was happy that it came in good condition!
I had to purchase this book for my microbiology class. A difference in Ch. 6, the total number of ATP produced by the ETC is now 32, when previously it was believed to be 38. NADH and FADH now produce less ATP.
Those who really want to get deeper and deeper into science, particularly the microscopic world should buy this one. It gives full details with more comprehensible expressions.
Not your typical text book, very easy to read with a lot of interesting side stores that are relevant to what you are learning.
I procrastinated and ordered this two days prior to when I needed it and it arrived on time in perfect condition with the access code intact and everything, super happy. Probably wise not to procrastinate again though, haha
Difficult too maneuver, pages are not numbered
Never had to use this book once during class. But the font and pictures are ok for a text book.
