Abstract
Recent results regarding the global gas properties of spiral galaxies are reviewed, with special emphasis on the systematic trends in the ratio of molecular to atomic gas and in the yield of high-mass stars per unit mass of molecular gas as a function of galaxy morphology, bar type, and environment.
