This book presents in an easy-to-read format a summary of the important central aspects of microbial glycobiology, i.e. the study of carbohydrates as related to the biology of microorganisms. Microbial glycobiology represents a multidisciplinary and emerging area with implications for a range of basic and applied research fields, as well as having industrial, medical and biotechnological implications.

Individual chapters provided by leading international scientists in the field yield insightful, concise and stimulating reviews
Provides researchers with an overview and synthesis of the latest research
Each chapter begins with a brief 200 word Summary/Abstract detailing the topic and focus of the chapter, as well as the concepts to be addressed
Allows researchers to see at a glance what each chapter will cover
Each chapter includes a Research Focus Box
Identifies important problems that still need to be solved and areas that require further investigation
