Beschreibung:
Escherichia coli, commonly referred to as E. coli, has been theorganism of choice for molecular genetics for decades. Its machineryand mobile behavior is one of the most fascinating topics for cellscientists. Scientists and engineers, not trained in microbiologyand who would like to learn more about living machines, can see it asa unique example. This cross-disciplinary monograph covers more thanthirty years of research and is accessible to graduate students andscientists alike.
Why E. coli?.- Larger Organisms.- Cell Populations.- Individual Cells.- Flagellar Motion.- Physical Constraints.- Optimal Control.- Cellular Hardware.- Behavioral Hardware.- Genetics and Assembly.- Gain Paradox.- Rotary Motor.- Epilogue.
