Advances in Microbial Physiology, Volume 85 in this ongoing serial, highlights new advances in the field with this new volume presenting interesting chapters. Each chapter is written by an international board of authors. Topics of interest in this update include The genetic basis of predation by myxobacteria, Vancomycin susceptibility and VISA in Staphylococcus aureus, Cytochrome bd-type oxidases and environmental stressors in microbial physiology, Bacterial heme-containing sensor proteins, Algal hemoglobins, Inter-species interactions in polymicrobial infections, Utilization of Low Methane Concentrations by Methanotrophs, and Role of sulfidogenic members of the gut microbiota in human disease.
