Microbes may need to move the substances that they make, or that they encounter in their environment, from one place to another. For example, they may have to export proteins associated with pathogenicity, they may need to move proteins internally, they may have to take up nutrients from the environment, or get rid of toxic materials. This book describes, at the molecular level, some of the most important ways in which they do this. It is unusual in the breadth of topics and range of...
