Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacteria 1st Edition

Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacteria (1st Edition) by Keizo Shimada and Shinichi Takaichi offers a compelling, authoritative exploration of microorganisms that harvest light without producing oxygen. Ideal for microbiologists, environmental scientists, and advanced students, this volume illuminates the physiology, ecology, taxonomy, and biogeochemical roles of anoxygenic phototrophs across freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems.

Discover clear explanations of metabolic pathways, pigment biochemistry, and adaptive strategies that enable these bacteria to thrive in anaerobic and low-light environments. Rich with contemporary research perspectives, the book bridges laboratory findings and field observations to reveal how anoxygenic phototrophs influence nutrient cycles, habitat succession, and applied areas such as wastewater treatment and bioenergy research.

Whether you’re conducting regional studies in the Asia‑Pacific or comparative work across Europe and the Americas, this edition delivers globally relevant insights grounded in rigorous science. Written by respected authorities, it balances technical depth with accessible prose—making complex concepts usable for researchers, instructors, and interdisciplinary teams.

If you need a definitive reference that clarifies classification, experimental approaches, and ecological implications of non‑oxygenic photosynthesis, this text is an essential addition to your shelf. Add Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacteria to your collection to deepen understanding, support research, and inspire new investigations into the unseen drivers of microbial ecosystems.
