Very few books on photosynthetic bacteria have been published over the last 25 years and particularly not for young researchers and those working at the margins of interdisciplinary fields. This book addresses those issues.Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Bacteria is highly structured and contains detailed cross referencing of subjects. It covers important area including photosynthesis and photosynthetic bacteria; systematics and characteristic of each taxon; ecology and cultivation; photosynthetic electron transfer systems; metabolism; pigments and lipids; light-harvesting systems and reaction centers; photosynthetic genes and regulation of gene expression; origin and evolution of photosynthesis; and utilization of photosynthetic bacteria.
