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.
This new volume provides overviews of the most current genetic approaches in a diverse range of prokaryotes. Divided into three sections, the topics include essential techniques for genetic analysis, case studies describing genetic methods in carefully chosen genera and approaches used in the elucidation of specific phenomena.
Established for almost 30 years, Methods in Microbiology is the most prestigious series devoted to techniques and methodology in the field. Now totally revamped, revitalised, with a new format and expanded scope, Methods in Microbiology will continue to provide you with tried and tested, cutting edge protocols to directly benefit your research.

Coverage Includes:
* Specialized and modifications of established protocols
* Genetic techniques and their application to new organisms
* Exploitation of bacteriophages and their components
* Development of plasmid vectors
* Virulence detection in Heliobacter pylori, Erwina, and other plant pathogens
* Photosynthesis and respiration in Paracoccus and Rhodobacter
* Bacillus subtilis sporulation

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...In this book the editors have compiled contributions from world authorities covering both classical and new genetic methodologies which are applicable to a number of phylogenetically diverse bacteria including the archaea... each of the chapters provides an excellent source of references for the reader withing to delve deeper into the details of techniques... each chapter provides a comprehensive account and up-to-date reference list. Indeed, in their preface to the volume, the editors comment that their '... aim is to educate on the technical feasibility of genetic experiments in many diverse procaryotes...' and they achieve this admirably... This book provides an excellent value for money and will prove an invaluable mine of information for Ph.D. students, postdocs and research scientists alike.

First Sentence:
The introduction of purified DNA into bacteria is an almost universally applicable means of transferring genes between organisms, and has the major advantage that no vector is required: the nucleic acid itself mediates information transfer. Read the first page
