However, this has not prevented them from becoming the most successful group of animals on the planet. Insects possess highly-developed innate immune s
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 bas
