Synopsis

This volume looks at the latest fundamental and applied methodologies used in the study of long-term ex-situ conservation of microorganisms, including bacteria, protozoa, fungi, protists, and viruses. Additionally, the chapters in this book cover standard methodologies related to microbial identification, which complements the preservation process and are essential for characterizing microorganisms with diverse biotechnological applications. The chapters put special emphasis on methodologies designed to maximize post-preservation viability, minimize genetic drift, and maintain phenotypic stability during storage. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Comprehensive and trailblazing, Methods for Conservation of Microorganisms is a practical guide for researchers working in various microbiology laboratories who want to learn more about this advancing field.
