Academic Press Microbial Symbionts: Functions and Molecular Interactions on Host (Developments in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology)

Product Description Microbial Symbionts: Functions and Molecular Interactions on Host consists of four broad sections with a focus on microbial symbionts of plants, animals, insects and molecular methods in identification of microbial symbionts. It describes the molecular mechanism, interactions of symbiosis of microbiome in plants, animals, and humans. It brings the latest techniques for identification, localization and functional characterization of host-associated microbes and explains the role/importance of microbial symbionts. Microbial Symbionts: Functions and Molecular Interactions on Host is a reference that covers a wide range of symbiotic microorganisms used for basic and advanced techniques associated with the isolation, characterization, identification of microbial symbiotic microorganisms and their functions and molecular interactions on the host. This reference also helps to plan and execute experiments with appropriate knowledge rather than experimental trial and error. It provides basic knowledge and working protocols for a wide range of disciplines like Microbiology, Biotechnology, Botany, and zoology.
