Features: With the rapid development of molecular biology research, especially the continuous emergence of research results using microorganisms as materials, the entire field of microbial genetics has undergone profound changes. This book breaks the traditional structure of microbial genetics and integrates it closely with molecular genetics, explaining the fundamental principles and research methods of microbial genetics at the molecular level. This book can be used as a teaching text for medical, agricultural, environmental protection, food, and other related majors in comprehensive universities, normal universities, medical colleges, and agricultural colleges, and can also serve as a reference for researchers in related fields. The book is divided into 13 chapters, introducing the genetic material of microorganisms, gene mutation and DNA damage repair, viral genetic analysis, bacterial gene transfer and genetic recombination, actinomycete genetics, yeast genetics, the genetics of filamentous fungi, the regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes, transposable genes in microorganisms, genetic recombination, genetic engineering, and microbial breeding. Compared to previous microbial genetics books, this edition includes additional content on transposable elements, actinomycete genetics, and yeast genetics, making the overall content more comprehensive and systematic.
