The microbial models of molecular biology : from genes to genomes /

Explains the role of simple biological model systems in the growth of molecular biology. This book presents the history of molecular biology, tracing the work in bacteriophages in E coli, the role of other prokaryotic systems, the protozoan and algal models, and the move into eukaryotes with the fun...
