Reviews
From the reviews:
"In addition to classic mutational events, a highly successful strategy of generating genetic diversity in bacteria is the acquisition of genomic islands. … This compendium … features an international assembly of authors including W. Arber (Basel) giving a lucid introduction into the evolution of prokaryotic genomes. The two-volume work provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on PAIs and other mobile virulence determinants in bacterial as well as fungal pathogens of humans and plants." (Susanne Rohrer, BioWorld, Issue 6, 2002)
