Genetic investigations and manipulations of bacteria and bacteriophage have made vital contributions to our basic understanding of living cells and to the development of molecular biology and biotechnology. This volume is a survey of the genetics of bacteria and their viruses, and it provides students with a comprehensive introduction to this rapidly changing subject. The book is written for upper level undergraduates and beginning graduate students, particularly those who have had an introductory genetics course. The fifth edition has been extensively revised to reflect recent advances in the field. The book now has a reader-friendly look, with end-of-chapter questions, "Thinking Ahead" and "Applications" boxes to challenge students’ comprehension and insights. A complete glossary of commonly used terms has been revised and expanded.

The genetics of bacteria and their viruses are fundamental to modern biology. Genetic investigations and manipulations of bacteria and bacteriophage have made vital contributions to our basic understanding of living cells and to the development of genetic engineering and biotechnology. Bacterial and Bacteriophage Genetics provides students with a comprehensive yet concise introduction to this rapidly advancing subject. The third edition has been extensively revised and reorganized and three additional chapters provide new information and an improved flow of material for the student.

Dieses Buch ist flir Studenten gedacht, die ihre erste Vorlesung in Bakte­ rien- oder Bakteriophagengenetik hOren. Es setzt sowohl das Wissen der Grundlagen der Biologie als auch der allgemeinen Genetik voraus. Beson­ dere Kenntnisse der Mikrobiologie, wenn auch hilfreich, sind flir ein gutes Verstehen des dargestellten Stoffs nicht unbedingt erforderlich. Urn das Grundkonzept der Bakterien- und Bakteriophagengenetik in einem Buch verniinftigen Umfangs zu entwickeln, habe ich mich be­ moot, sowohl den rein molekularen Weg als auch die flir Ubersichtsartikel charakteristische zusammenfassende Behandlung zu vermeiden. Aus Ein­ fachheit und KontinuWit habe ich deswegen vorwiegend Escherichia coli und seine Phagen behandelt, es sei denn, andere Bakterien kbnnen einen bestimmten Aspekt besser illustrieren. Das soll jedoch nicht heiBen, daB nm E. coli des Studiums wert ware. Eher hoffe ich, daB der Student in die Lage versetzt wird, von den hier erbrterten Grundlagen allgemeine Schliisse auf ein spezielles bakterielles System zu ziehen, das ihn direkter interessiert. Das Buch ist nicht daflir gedacht, individuelle Aspekte der Bakterien­ genetik besonders tief auszuloten, denn das wiirde ein DbermaB an Details erfordern und seinen Rahmen sprengen. Dagegen sollte der Stu­ dent nach sorgfaltiger Lektiire des Buchs fahig sein, die aktuellen Ver­ bffentlichungen seines speziellen Interesses mit Verstandnis zu lesen. Urn das zu erreichen, habe ich versucht, die Bakteriengenetik als logische Ent­ wicklung von Vorstellungen darzulegen, wobei es gelegentlich nbtig war, bestimmte Punkte, deren theoretische Grundlagen noch nicht behandelt waren, zu iibergehen oder auf spatere Kapitel zu verschieben. Dies ist im Text durch entsprechende Hinweise angezeigt.

The third edition of this textbook has been revised to reflect current knowledge of gene cloning and bacterial evolution. It aims to provide students with a solid foundation in such areas as phage genetics, plasmids and bacterial gene regulation.
