Recent work in microbial activity and interactions is collected here. Contributors in botany, microbiology, immunology, ecology, and evolutionary biology report on work in areas such as lectin- carbohydrate interactions during human invasion by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica, bioterrorism, the evolution of drug resistance in Candida albicans, and transition metal transport in yeast. Other topics discussed include genome remodeling in ciliated protozoa, the molecular biology of the West Nile virus, bacterial chromosome segregation, metabolic control and yeast aging, mechanisms of solvent tolerance in gram-negative bacteria, and structural themes in viral cell entry pathways. Ornston is affiliated with Yale University. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
