This book presents selected papers from the international symposium on "Gene Manipulation and Expression" held in the Bechyne Castle, in South Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, on September 3 to 7, 1984. The symposium was sponsored by Academician J.Riman, vicepresident of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sci ences and director of the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, and by corresponding member of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences Prof.V.Krumphanzl, president of the Czechoslovak Society for Microbiology and director of the Institute of Microbiology of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, with Dr.K.Mikulik of the same Institute acting as chairman of the Organizing Committee. The book is divided into four parts entitled: (l) Rearrangement of prokaryotic genetic material and DNA cloning vectors; (2) DNA-Dependent RNA polymerase in prokaryotes: structure and function; (3) The role of cAMP in gene expression; (4) Translational control of gene expression. We wish to thank all participants who con tributed to this volume. We should also like to express our deep gratitude to Drs.I.Janda and J.Weiser, both of the Institute of Microbiology of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, for their invaluable help in the editorial work and Mrs.J. Pistorova for patiently retyping all the manu scripts.
