It is also often defined as the timeline for the evolutionary developmental biology of eukaryotic multicellular higher organisms, i.e., plants and animals. The development of prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes in contrary has been neglected for a long time, which was the motivation for publishing this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book highlights one of Darwin's most important findings: Evolution is a creative, but not a conscious process. It also illustrates that this concept does not only apply to multicellular higher organisms, but affects every form of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reader shall find complex biochemical and genetic pathways of bacteria, yeasts or protozoa, comparable to those exhibited by plants or animals. The molecular mechanisms of dramatic genome rearrangements, recombination and horizontal gene transfer that are responsible for evolutionary adaptations are discussed. Additionally, the book covers bacteria of the genera \u003ci\u003eMyxobacteriales\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCaulobacterales\u003c\/i\u003e, which are able to develop tissue-like cellular organization. The morphogenesis of entomopathogenic fungi and the endosymbiont theory are also addressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is a useful introduction to the field for junior scientists, interested in bacteriology, protistology and fungal development. It is also an interesting read for advanced scientists, giving them a broader view of the field beyond their area of specialization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tomás González Villa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030775976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030775971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.17d","brand":"Tomás González Villa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437231026431,"sku":"9783030775971","price":279.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b4066d4-06f5-4f33-a223-4aceb0830f02.jpg?v=1777160573","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/developmental-biology-in-prokaryotes-and-tomzas-gonzzalez-villa-9783030775971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
