From the reviews: "This is a very rich volume and the writing and organization are well suited to make it easy for readers to readily gain an overview of each of the topics. A high standard has been set for the next volume in the series, also edited by Zannoni, which will be subtitled ‘Diversity of Prokaryotic Respiratory Systems'."
