This book assembles concisely written chapters by world-leaders in the field summarizing recent advances in understanding microbial responses to hydrocarbons. Subjects treated include mechanisms of sensing, hydrocarbon tolerance and degradation as well as an overview on hydrophobic modification of biomolecules. Other chapters are dedicated to issues related to the reduced bioavailability of hydrocarbons, which differentiates this class of compounds form many others, but which of central importance to understand the ecophysiological consequences. This book should be standard literature in any laboratory working in this area.…mehr

Tino Krell has studied Biochemistry in Leipzig (Germany) and did his PhD at the University of Glasgow (UK). He was then appointed laboratory head in the R & D Department of Sanofi Pasteur, S.A. in France. In 2004 he moved to Spain to work for the governmental research body CSIC, where he established a laboratory on bacterial sensing and signal transduction. He has investigated molecular mechanisms by which hydrocarbons are sensed by bacteria in the context of their expulsion, degradation or chemotaxis.
