Book excerpt: Applies thermodynamics to the analysis of microbial growth and shows how it can be used for a precise analysis of the energetics of the growth process. Describes the development of theories on the energy changes that accompany microbial growth. Beginning with a review of the thermodynamic principles, the text approaches the description of microbial growth and energy changes historically and charts the progress from the fields' earliest beginnings to the present. Provides a useful perspective to theories about the evolution of life.
