Excerpt from Physiology of Bacteria By confining the discussion to the indispensable functions of the simplest forms of life, I hope to arouse an inter est for this kind of work not only among bacteriologists, but among plant and animal physiologists as well. While practically all the discussion in the book refers to bacteria, the principles developed reach beyond the domain of bacteriology, and apply to biology generally. More than that, I believe that some of the principles of biology can be found and studied only with the simplest forms of life, and that general physiology has much to learn from the physiology of bacteria. This book is not intended to be a review of literature on the subject. Such compilations exist already in the books mentioned above. It contains a number of unpublished experiments made with the object of deciding certain doubtful points in physiology. The work is meant to be critical. I have tried to present all theories, and to mention their strong and weak points. To counterbalance any personal view point, each chapter and subchapter contains a summary, usually separated according to facts and theories.
