This is the first book on microbial energetics at this level, presenting an integrated approach to all major aspects of the subject. It is a research level introduction to bacterial bioenergetics, aimed at postgraduates coming to the field and other researchers wishing to acquire specialist knowledge. Each chapter covers the basics of the relevant topic leading to more extensive discussion relating to specialist research interests. Energy transduction is fundamental to all biochemical/physiological processes and therefore of interest to many.

First published in 1987. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Transport of molecules across the cell membrane is a fundamental process of all living organisms. It is essential for understanding growth, development, nutrition as well as uptake and excretion of exogenous or synthesized molecules. Microbes respresent general and basic functional systems where many transport processes have been studied on a molecular basis. Knowledge of the microbial transport processes will provide new perspectives to treatments by inhibitors, drugs, antibiotics, vitamins, growth promotion compounds, activators and toxic compunds of various kinds.
Bioenergetics 2 aims to clarify topics such as the thermodynamics of bioenergetic processes and the stoichiometries of energy coupling reactions. The book discusses chemiosmotic energy transduction; ion transport across energy-conserving membranes; and quantitative bioenergenetics as the measurement of driving forces. The text also describes the chemiosmotic proton circuit; the respiratory chain; the photosynthetic generators of protonmotive force; and the ATP synthase. The secondary transport of products across the membrane, as well as the structures of the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center and bacteriorhodopsin are also considered. Biochemists will find the book invaluable.
