Volume 16 in the series Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration, this book summarizes the achievements
of the past decade in the biochemistry, bioenergetics, structural and molecular biology of respiratory
processes in selected genera of the domain Bacteria along with an extensive coverage of the redox chains of
extremophiles belonging to the Archaean domain. The volume is a unique since it contains a series of chapters
dealing with metabolic features having important microbiological and ecological relevance such as the use of
ammonium, iron, methane, sulfur and hydrogen as respiratory substrates or nitrous compounds in denitrification
processes. Particular attention is also dedicated to peculiar groups of prokaryotes such as Gram positives,
acetic acid bacteria, pathogens of the genera Helicobacter and Campylobacter, nitrogen fixing
symbionts and freeliving species, oxygenic phototrophs (Cyanobacteria) and anoxygenic (purple nonsulfur)
phototrophs. The book serves as a source of information for Ph.D. students, researchers and undergraduates
from disciplines such as microbiology, biochemistry and ecology, studying basic and applied sciences, medicine
and agriculture.
