Synopsis

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.

About this title

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.
