Molecular Genetics of Bacteria

Molecular Genetics of Bacteria, 4th Edition, published by ASM Press, delivers foundational and advanced material on bacterial genetics. Geared toward advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses, the textbook supports coursework and experimental research across biological disciplines.

Core themes include bacterial chromosome dynamics, mechanisms of gene expression, and modes of gene transfer. The text also explores how bacteria coordinate cellular activity using operons and broader regulatory circuits.

Each chapter features thought questions, problems, and suggested readings to test comprehension and encourage independent study. The volume is intended for students and professionals across microbiology, genetics, biochemistry, bioengineering, medicine, molecular biology, and biotechnology.
