Biology of the Chemotactic Response (Society for General Microbiology Symposia)
Editorial Reviews
Review
"...clearly written by some of the foremost investigators in the field and should be of value to all who study cell movement." E.J. Miller, Bookshelf
Book Description
Until recently the description of environmentally directed behavior had been at the phenomenological level. However, over the past decade, the mechanisms of movement, environmental sensing, and sensory transduction are being understood at the molecular level in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic single-celled organisms. This book covers the entire range of single-cell sensory transduction, from theories of gradient perception in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells to the detailed molecular structure and function of sensory receptors, their respective secondary messengers, and the mechanisms of movement. The authors have also attempted to put the complex mechanisms of sensory transduction into the context of the organisms in their natural environment.
