Biologie für Einsteiger: Prinzipien des Lebens verstehen
Leben ist ein äußerst komplexes Phänomen und läuft doch vom winzigen Bakterium bis zum studierenden Menschen stets nach den gleichen Prinzipien ab. Die Einführung in die Biologie erschließt Kapitel für Kapitel diese grundlegenden Mechanismen und Strukturen. Mit ihrem modernen didaktischen Konzept legt die Einführung in die Biologie dabei auf völlig neue Weise den Schwerpunkt auf die Vermittlung eines wirklichen Verständnisses für die Abläufe in Zellen und Organismen.

Plasmids typically contain genes that confer a special property on the cell (such as a unique metabolism, or antibiotic resistance) rather than essential genes needed under all growth conditions. This contrasts with genes on the chromosome, most of which are needed for basic survival. How many genes does a cell have? We know that this number is highly variable because of the many genomes that have been sequenced. The genome of the model bacterium Escherichia coli is fairly typical in size; it is a single circular chromosome of 4,639,221 base pairs of DNA arranged into 4288 genes.
6b shows only a few landmark lineages). 2a), and (2) Archaea are more closely related to Eukarya than to Bacteria.

A population is a group of cells derived from a single parental cell by successive cell divisions. The immediate environment in which a microbial population lives is called its habitat. 7). The abundance and diversity of any microbial community is strongly controlled by the resources (foods) available and conditions (temperature, pH, presence or absence of oxygen, and so on) that prevail in that community.
1) that have enormous basic and practical importance. Microbiology is also about diversity and evolution of microbial cells, about how different kinds of microorganisms arose and why. Microbiology embraces ecology, so it is also about where microorganisms live on Earth, how they associate and cooperate with each other, and what they do in the world at large, in soils and waters and in animals and plants. The science of microbiology revolves around two interconnected themes: (1) understanding the nature and functioning of the microbial world, and (2) applying our understanding of the microbial world for the benefit of humankind and planet Earth.
