Cells of phototrophic bacterla are fitted out with a characteristic and sometimes species-specific membrane-system: the continuous but differ ently composed cytoplasmic-intracytoplasmic membrane systems in purple bacteria, the cytoplasmic membrane with the attached light-harvesting chlorosomes in green bacteria and the intracytpplasmic thylakoids with the attached light-harvesting phycobilisomes in cyanobacteria. During the long-lasting evolutionary process phototrophic bacteria have been adapted to numerous ecological niches and on this way they have developed various types of light-harvesting antenna systems and pigments. The evolutionary pressure on the development of efficient energy-transducing systems resulted, on the other hand, in hOmologous structures with a high similarity of primary amino-acid sequences of membrane-bound pigment-binding polypeptides and very similar principles of organization, realized, for example, in the photochemical reaction center and the ubiquinone-cytochrome blc oxidoreductase of many evolutionary remote organisms. l The bacterial photosynthetic and respiratory apparatuses are much simpler in composition and organization than the corresponding structures of higher organisms. They are, therefore, excellent model systems to study correlations between structure and function and assembly of these highly organized membrane particles. Biophysicists, biochemists and molecular biologists have in close cooperation, but using different methodical approaches, reached a clear progress in this field. From the 150 contributions to the Symposium on molecular biology of membrane-bound complexes in phototrophic bacteria (Freiburg, August 2-5, 1989) 56 representative papers have been selected and combined in this volume.

From the dust jacket: "Down through the ages, countless ingenious performers have astonished their friends or audiences with 'magic' - not the black arts, but simple or sometimes complicated tricks that can be learned and passed on. This book will tell you how to do some of these and do them well. "190 pagesThis is a magic book for beginners. It is long on description but short on explanation. That's okay. As John Salisse, Honorary Vice-president of The Magic Circle says in the Foreword, "It is not how a trick is carried out which is important, but how it is presented."This is an over sized book for display on the coffee table, not for shelving out-of-sight. Your guests, young and old, will be entertained simply by leafing through the pages of this lavishly illustrated volume. Within the pages of this book you will discover magic for the junior magician as well as for the master magician.
