Features: This book is one of the series on modern genetics. It was first published in 1981, reprinted in 1987, and this is the third edition. In the third edition, apart from removing the chapter "Introduction to Classical Genetics" from the second edition, merging the chapter "The Material Basis of Heredity" into the introduction, incorporating the content of the chapter "Morphogenesis and Differentiation Development" into relevant chapters, and adding two sections on transposable elements and genetic engineering to the chapter "Non-Mendelian Genetics," the rest of the book remains largely unchanged, forming the upper part. The lower part includes three newly added chapters ("Genetic Studies of Special Types of Microorganisms," "Genetic Studies of Universal Cellular Functions," "Microbial Genomics") and an updated and expanded chapter on "Evolution." Based on a systematic introduction to the fundamental knowledge and basic principles of microbial genetics, this book reflects recent research achievements in the field. It can serve as a textbook for microbial genetics courses in colleges and universities and also as a reference for researchers in molecular biology, microbiology, genetic engineering, and related fields.
