The Physical Microbe : An Introduction to Noise, Control, and Communication in the Prokaryotic Cell (Iop Concise Physics)

Narrows down the scope of physical biology by focusing on the microbial cell. It explores the physical phenomena of noise, feedback, and variability that arise in the cellular information-processing circuits used by bacteria. It also looks at the microbe from a physics perspective, to ask how the cell optimizes its function to live within the constraints of physics.
