Pseudomonas volume 7 collects some of the most relevant and emerging issues in the biology of
these microorganisms and a number of other important issues that were not collected in the
previous volumes. The first six volumes of the Pseudomonas series covered the biology of
pseudomonads in a wide range of contexts including the niches they inhabit the taxonomic
relations among its members of this group the molecular biology of gene expression in
different niches and under different environmental conditions the analysis of virulence in
plants animal and human pathogens as well as the determinants that make some of these strains
of interesting for biotechnological applications. This seventh volume covers the following
topics: The history of the biology of Pseudomonas The use of Pseudomonas as biological agents
New trends in the molecular biology of these microorganisms Pseudomonas and the immune system
of insects and animals This book will be of use to researchers working on these bacteria
particularly those studying medical aspects of Pseudomonas and their use as a means to control
pathogens or to stimulate plant growth. This volume is also interesting for those studying the
physiology genetics molecular biology of Pseudomonas and those using novel-omics approaches
to understand bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas.
