BOOK
The Genetics of Bacteria and their Viruses Studies in Basic Genetics and Molecular Biology
This book provides a foundational exploration of bacterial genetics and the interaction between bacteria and their viruses (bacteriophages). William Hayes presents key principles of genetic recombination, mutation, gene transfer mechanisms such as conjugation, transformation, and transduction, and the molecular basis of heredity in microorganisms. The work is widely regarded as a classic reference in molecular biology, offering detailed explanations of experimental approaches that shaped modern genetic research. It is particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the development of microbial genetics and the early understanding of virus–host interactions.
