Some species are regarded as beneficial as they possess traits such as an ability to promote plant growth or kill pest organisms or fix nitrogen or degrade man-made pollutants. Others, however, are important pathogens and include species such as \u003cem\u003eB. mallei\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eB. pseudomallei\u003c\/em\u003e, considered to be potential biological weapons. The application of high-throughput sequencing and 'omics' technologies in recent years has allowed research on \u003cem\u003eBurkholderia \u003c\/em\u003especies to advance at an unprecedented pace permitting fascinating new insights into the molecular and cellular biology of this highly variable group of bacteria. In this book leading international investigators review key advances in \u003cem\u003eBurkholderia \u003c\/em\u003eresearch to provide timely overview. The topics covered include: genomic taxonomy and biodiversity, comparative genomics, molecular epidemiology, transcriptomics, proteomics, molecular pathogenesis of virulence in \u003cem\u003eB. mallei\/B. pseudomallei\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eBurkholderia cepacia \u003c\/em\u003ecomplex, molecular basis of phytopathogenicity and antibiotic resistance, signalling and biofilms, and the genomic biology of \u003cem\u003eBurkholderia\u003c\/em\u003e phages. The theme underpinning each chapter is the use of DNA\/protein sequence data and post-genomic technologies to understand \u003cem\u003eBurkholderia\u003c\/em\u003e biology. Essential reading for everyone working with these and related bacteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Coenye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908230355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908230355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Caister Academic Press Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Tom Coenye","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445848617215,"sku":"9781908230355","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37f00da9-be2a-467b-a788-34a8ec0463cf.jpg?v=1777221041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/burkholderia-tom-coenye-9781908230355","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
