Developments in Microbiology

Laboratory Methods in Microbiology and Molecular Biology: Methods in Molecular Microbiology is a unique, informative and multidisciplinary work that is not only confined to one discipline. It provides various procedures in diverse disciplines from microbiology to genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry. Here, the principles and facts underlying practical applications of bacteria and fungi which have prospects in various technologies are listed. It is composed of 15 chapters broadly covering basic concepts in microbiology, including soil microbiology, food microbiology, microbial genetics, serology and the use of basic bioinformatics tools.

Each chapter contains a set of experiments with an introduction, principle, reagents and buffers used, brief methodology, conclusions and inferences, and a list of 20-40 references. A brief summary/abstract is also included. The book will facilitate students, teachers and researchers to monitor the precision and accuracy of their qualitative and quantitative methods practically.
