Brock biology of microorganisms Ebook Global edition.; Fifteenth edition

Welcome to an exciting new edition of Brock Biology of Microorganisms
(BBOM). This Fifteenth Edition is the strongest
yet and presents microbiology in the context of the excitement
this science generates today. For three generations, students and
instructors have relied on the accuracy, authority, consistency, and
up-to-date presentation of BBOM to learn or teach the principles of
modern microbiology. Both students and instructors will benefit
from the Fifteenth Edition in at least four major ways: (1) from the
use of cutting-edge research to illustrate basic concepts; (2) from
the seamless integration of molecular and ecological microbiology
with evolution, diversity, the immune system, and infectious diseases;
(۳) from the visually stunning art program and spectacular
photos; and (4) from the wide assortment of teaching and learning
tools that accompany the book itself.
Veteran authors Madigan, Bender, Buckley, and Stahl welcome
new coauthor Matt Sattley to the Fifteenth Edition. Matt, a professor
at Indiana Wesleyan University, teaches both general microbiology
and health professions microbiology and did a great job
of reorganizing and refreshing our coverage of immunology and
related areas. With an extremely strong author team that employs
experts in each of our major areas of emphasis, we sincerely feel
that BBOM 15e is the best learning resource available in microbiology
today.
What’s New in the 15th Edition?
The Fifteenth Edition guides students through the six major
themes of microbiology as outlined by the American Society
for Microbiology Conference on Undergraduate Education
(ASMCUE): Evolution, Cell Structure and Function, Metabolic
Pathways, Information Flow and Genetics, Microbial Systems, and
the Impact of Microorganisms. With enhanced and revised artwork
complemented with over 90 new color photos, BBOM 15e presents
microbiology as the visual science it is. Thirty-three new MicrobiologyNow
chapter-opening vignettes were composed for this
edition, each designed to introduce a chapter’s theme through a
recent discovery published in the microbiology literature. Several
new Explore the Microbial World features were also developed for
this edition, each designed to give students a feel for exciting special
topics in microbiology and to fuel their scientific curiosity.
Genomics, and all of the various “omics” it has spawned, support
content in every chapter of BBOM 15e, reflecting how the
omics revolution has transformed all of biology, especially microbiology.
Mastering the principles of the dynamic field of microbiology
today requires an understanding of the supportive molecular
biology. Hence, we have constructed BBOM 15e in a way that provides
both the foundation for the science and the science itself.
The result is a robust and modern treatment of microbiology that
now includes exciting new chapters devoted to microbial systems
biology, synthetic biology, the human microbiome, and the molecular
biology of microbial growth.
To strengthen the learning experience, each section summary
in the chapter review is followed immediately by a review question
to better link concept review with concept mastery. BBOM 15e is
supported by MasteringMicrobiologyTM, Pearson’s online homework,
tutorial, and assessment system that assists students in pacing their
learning and keeps instructors current on class performance. MasteringMicrobiology
includes chapter-specific reading quizzes, MicrobiologyNow,
Clinical Case and MicroCareer coaching activities, animation
quizzes, MCAT Prep questions, and many additional study and
assessment tools, including tutorials and assessments for the microbiology
lab. Collectively, the content and presentation of BBOM 15e,
coupled with the powerful learning tools of MasteringMicrobiology,
create an unparalleled educational experience in microbiology.
