Summary

Knowledge of the responses of micro-organisms to environmental stresses has led to tremendous advances in the their morphological, physiological and genetic regulation, following the introduction of novel research techniques and the efforts of food microbiologists, microbial ecologists, molecular biologists and researchers in other fields. This book is primarily targeted at food microbiologists, microbial ecologists and other professionals in academia, industry and governmental agencies. In addition, this book is a useful reference in improving the processing of food and detecting micro-organisms therein.
