Brock Biology of Microorganisms sets the standard for accuracy, impeccable scholarship, a visually stunning art program, and the use of cutting-edge research to illustrate basic concepts. The text guides students through the six major themes of microbiology Evolution, Cell Structure and Function, Metabolic Pathways, Information Flow and Genetics, Microbial Systems, and the Impact of Microorganisms as outlined by the American Society for Microbiology Conference on Undergraduate Education(ASMCUE). This robust and modern approach takes students through the genomics revolution and omics maze that has transformed microbiology and shares powerful tools that microbiologists use to probe deeper and farther into the microbial world than ever before.

The 16th Edition expands the extraordinary art program to ensure students experience microbiology as a visual science, while providing an overview of the microbial world with basic principles that students all need to master. Each chapters theme focuses on a recent discovery that connects students with the most current science and engages them with exciting, real-world topics.
