title: Cocci, Spirilla & Other Bacteria (Kingdom Classification)
author:  Steve Parker 
description: Grade 7-9&ndash;This series gives an overview of a few of the main classifications of living things. Packed with text, photos, micrographs, and insets, these titles will compel readers to look closely. The main text meanders through the loaded pages providing background information, while visuals with italicized captions provide examples and detail. Scientific terms are often defined in the text and used again in later pages. Each spread focuses on a single aspect of the life-form and either moves through the life cycle or presents variations of the classification. Final spreads examine beneficial and harmful varieties. The books close with an overview of scientific classification with a specific example. With its compelling facts and visuals, this is a quality choice. END

  Physical map of alkaliphilic Bacillus ﬁrmus OF4 and detection
  of a large endogenous plasmid
  Received: March 3, 1998 / Accepted May 12, 1998
  Abstract Extremely alkaliphilic Bacillus ﬁrmus OF4 is
  among the best characterized of this group of alkaliphiles.
  Together with alkaliphilic Bacillus C-125 and numerous
  non-alkaliphilic Bacillus species whose chromosomes and
  gene organizations are currently being studied in detail,
  work on B. ﬁrmus OF4 offers the opportunity to discern
  whether there are features of chromosome and gene organi-
  zation that are associated with alkaliphily. A physical map
  of the B. ﬁrmus OF4 is consistent with a circular chromo-
  some of approximately 4Mb, with an extrachromosomal
  element of 110kb also detected. The previously identiﬁed
  cadmium-resistan
