`Overall the book provides an extensive review of our understanding of glycomicrobiology and reveals that the subject is still in the logarithmic phase of growth. The book will therefore be an important source of information and relevant literature references to active researchers in the field.'
The Journal of Medical Microbiology, 50:5 (2001)
`This book is of greatest use as a reference for researchers interested in the biochemistry of (mainly) surface-expressed glycosylated peptides and lipids. It is extremely comprehensively referenced '
