Laboratory Methods in Microbiology and Molecular Biology

Methods in Molecular Microbiology. Laboratory Methods in Microbiology and Molecular Biology describes various microbiological, biochemical, and molecular methods employed for the characterization, identification, and analysis of actinomycetes, bacteria and fungi. The book details general guidelines, expectations, and responsibilities for good lab practices and consists of chapters that covers basic microbiological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular aspects as well as in silico analysis using various bioinformatic tools. Other topics in the book include how to make solutions, microscopy and imaging of microorganisms, sero-diagnostics, and basic concepts of phylogeny, physiology, biotechnology, soil, food, and environmental microbiology while working in laboratory. Laboratory Methods in Microbiology and Molecular Biology is an informative update to current practices and future perspectives for the field of microbial biotechnology. It aims to facilitate professors, researchers, and graduate students in monitoring the precision and accuracy of the qualitative and quantitative methods in their research.
