This new book serves as an overview of the evolving molecular biological and biotechnological aspects of the pseudomonad bacteria and its importance to the ecology of a diverse and safe biosphere. A valuable and timely assessment, this book is based on the proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Pseudomonas: Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. It brings together and summarizes the latest developments in international research on Pseudomonas species. The 45 chapters expand on the initial presentations by world experts at the symposium held in Tsukuba, Japan, August 1995. The areas of emphasis include the molecular biology, biotechnological and industrial applications, and involvement in human and plant pathogenesis of pseudomonads.
