Microorganisms play an important role in the maintenance of the ecosystem structure and
function. Bacteria constitute the major part of the microorganisms and possess tremendous
potential in many important applications from environmental clean up to the drug discovery.
Much advancement has been taken place in the field of research on bacterial systems. This book
summarizes the experimental setups required for applied microbiological studies. Important
background information representative results step by step protocol in this book will be of
great use to the students early career researchers as well as the academicians. The book
describes many experiments covering the basic microbiological experiments to the applications
of microbial systems for advanced research. Researchers in any field who utilize bacterial
systems will find this book very useful. In addition to microbiology and bacteriology this
book will also find useful in molecular biology genetics and pathology and the volume should
prove to be a valuable laboratory resource in clinical and environmental microbiology
microbial genetics and agricultural research. Unique features - Easy to follow by the users as
