Methods in Microbiology, Volume 29 Genetic Methods for Diverse Prokaryotes

This new volume presents overviews of the very latest genetic approaches in a diverse range of prokaryotes. Divided into three sections, the topics include essential techniques for genetic analysis, case studies in which genetic methods in carefully chosen genera are described and approaches are used in the elucidation of specific phenomena.

Edited by two experts in the field, Genetic Methods for Diverse Prokaryotes presents the latest experimental techniques in the detail you require. Structured for ease of reference, it is an essential guide for all researchers working in microbiology and genetics, as well as those in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.
Key Features and Contents:
* Up-to-date chapters on essential techniques for genetic analysis in diverse bacteria
* The use of plasmids, phages and transposons and their application to new organisms
