    Basic Life Sciences Volume 9 GENETIC ENGINEERING FOR NITROGEN FIXATION Edited by Alexander Hollaender Associated Universities, Inc., Washington, D.C. and R. H. Burris, P. R. Day, R. W. F. Hardy, D. R. Helinski, M. R. Lamborg, L. Owens, and R. C. Valentine The range and scope of the topics provide an excellent exposition of various ideas and experimental approaches to the practical introduction of nitrogen fixation by non- conventional means. . . . The book should be thought-provoking to microbiologists, molec ular biologists, agronomists, geneticists, and biochemists. To students, the book offers an overview of the biochemistry, physiology, and genetics of nitrogen fixation as well as an introduction to genetic engineering for a most practical and beneficial goal. — Yigal Koltin, American Scientist This book assesses authoritatively the current level of scientific achievement in biological nitrogen fixation, with special focus on the advantages and limitations of genetic engi neering as it relates to nitrogen fixation and biomass productivity. The individual con tributions, all written by outstanding leaders in the field, cover the development of such new genetic tools as artificially induced genetic changes produced by mutagenic agents; transplantation of chromosomes, parts of chromosomes, and genes; and cell hybridization. 552 pp„ 1977, ISBN 0-306-36509-X
