Reihe: Advances in Microbial Physiology

Advances in Microbial Physiology, Volume 75, the latest release in this ongoing series, continues the long tradition of topical, important, cutting-edge reviews in microbiology. The book contains updates in the field, with comprehensive chapters covering, Sulfoxides in bacterial systems, RNA degradosomes and control by signals including c-di-GMP, Protein nanowires: biological function and synthetic constructs for 'Green' electronics, Bacterial nitrous oxide respiration: electron transport chains and copper transfer reactions, Multiple degrees of separation in the central pathways of the catabolism of aromatic compounds in Dikarya fungi, and more.

Zielgruppe

Microbiologists, biochemists, biotechnologists, and those interested in physiology, microbial biochemistry and its applications.

Poole, Robert K.
Professor Robert K Poole is Emeritus Professor of Microbiology at the University of Sheffield, UK. He was previously West Riding Professor of Microbiology at Sheffield and until 1996 held a Personal Chair in Microbiology at King's College London. During his long career, he has been awarded several research Fellowships, and taken sabbatical leave at the Australian National University, Kyoto University and Cornell University. His career-long interests have been in the areas of bacterial respiratory metabolism, metal-microbe interactions and bioactive small gas molecules. In particular, he has made notable contributions to bacterial terminal oxidases and resistance to nitric oxide with implications for bacterial pathogenesis. He co-discovered the flavohaemoglobin Hmp, now recognised as the preeminent mechanism of nitric oxide resistance in bacteria. He has served as Chairman of numerous research council grant committees, held research grants for over 40 years and published extensively (h-index, 2024 = 70). He served on several Institute review panels in the UK and overseas. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Royal Society of Biology.
