Overview

The new series ""Microbiology Monographs"" begins with two volumes on intracellular components in prokaryotes. In this second volume, ""Complex Intracellular Structures in Prokaryotes"", the components, labeled complex intracellular structures, encompass a multitude of important cellular functions. Continuing and newly initiated research will provide a clearer understanding of the complex intracellular structures known at present and will bring to light surprising new ones as well.
