Description and Table of Contents
Description
A first source for traditional methods of microbiology as well as commonly used modern molecular microbiological methods.
Provides a comprehensive compendium of methods used in general and molecular microbiology.
Contains many new and expanded chapters, including a section on the newly important field of community and genomic analysis.
Provides step-by-step coverage of procedures, with an extensive list of references to guide the user to the original literature for more complete descriptions.
Presents methods for bacteria, archaea, and for the first time a section on mycology.
Numerous schematics and illustrations (both color and black and white) help the reader to easily understand the topics presented.
This title is published by the American Society for Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
