This volume introduces the revolutionary field of microbial single-cell omics, a suite of cutting-edge techniques that uncover the genetic, functional, and metabolic signatures of individual microbial cells. From the discovery of new microbial lineages to decoding virus-host interactions, this book highlights the transformative impact of single-cell genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.
With expert protocols and innovative workflows, the book provides practical guidance on fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), microfluidic encapsulation, and advanced genome amplification techniques. It also explores targeted methods, like FISH-FACS for recovering rare microbes, activity-based cell separation, and multi-omics approaches that integrate genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data. The authors discuss future developments and the immense benefits of analysing and understanding microbes one cell at a time, offering a glimpse into how this knowledge can transform microbial ecology, biomedicine, and biotechnology.
The book is aimed at researchers and students of environmental microbiology who wish to expand their knowledge of this ground-breaking approach and the underlying technology.
Christian Rinke received his PhD in Zoology from the Marine Biology Department at the University of Vienna, Austria and has since shifted his focus to the microbial world. His research interests include the phylogeny, taxonomy and ecology of free living and symbiotic Bacteria and Archaea. Thereby, he focuses on the majority of microbes which elude current culturing efforts. This so-called "Microbial Dark Matter" can only be explored with culture-independent approaches, and hence Chris has pioneered methods in high throughput single-cell genomics, the separation and sequencing of single bacterial and archaeal cells, and metagenomics, the direct sequencing of DNA from environmental samples. Currently, his lab uses a range of "omics" techniques to learn more about the phylogenetic and metabolic diversity encoded in Microbial Dark Matter.
He is also a member of the Genome Taxonomy Database (GTBD) curation team. GTDB is an initiative to establish a standardised microbial taxonomy based on genome phylogeny.
Mária Džunková received her PhD in Biotechnology from the University of Valencia, Spain, where she focused on integrating flow cytometry with metagenomics to study the human gut microbiome. She gained further experience as a predoctoral researcher at the Czech Academy of Sciences and Harvard Medical School, and later as a postdoctoral researcher at the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics, University of Queensland (2016–2019), and the DOE Joint Genome Institute at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2019–2021). In 2021, she joined the Institute for Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio) at the University of Valencia, where she established the Microbial Single-Cell Genomics research group. Her work combines metagenomics and single-cell genomics to uncover novel microbial lineages and elucidate their functions without the need for cultivation. She is particularly interested in symbiotic interactions between soft-bodied marine animals and their microbes producing protective molecules, microbial life in extreme industrial environments, and horizontal gene transfer driven by phages and other mobile genetic elements.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Basi6 International, Irving, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
All orders shipped via FedEx or DHL and delivered to your doorstep within 3-5 days. We do not ship to P.O.Boxes and a proper street address must be provided to avoid any delays.
