Preface.- Nanostructures and nanobacteria.- S-layer structure in bacteria and archaea.- Magnetotactic Bacteria, Magnetosomes and Nanotechnology.- Carboxysomes and their structural organization in prokaryotes.- Bacterial organization at the smallest level: Molecular motors, nanowires, and outer membrane vesicles.- The mechanism of bacterial gliding motility: Insights from molecular and cellular studies in the Myxobacteria and Bacteroidetes.- Nanoparticles formed by microbial metabolism of metals and minerals.

"This interesting book is focused on some ultrastructural components of prokaryotic cell, either belonging to Domain Bacteria or to Domain Archaea, as well as on metal nanoparticles formation during metabolism and nanostructures involved in bacterial glinding motility. ... The chapters are written very clearly, from microbiological point of view and from nanotechnological point of view ... . The book Nanomicrobiology seems to me to be a useful working instrument for young growing students and scientists ... ." (Ioan I. Ardelean, Bulletin of Micro and Nanoelectrotechnologies, Vol. 6 (1-2), 2015)
