| Summary |
"Laboratory Methods in Microbiology and Molecular Biology describes various microbiological, biochemical, and molecular methods employed for the characterization, identification, and analysis of actinomycetes, bacteria and fungi. The book details general guidelines, expectations, and responsibilities for good lab practices and consists of chapters that covers basic microbiological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular aspects as well as in silico analysis using various bioinformatic tools. Other topics in the book include how to make solutions, microscopy and imaging of microorganisms, sero-diagnostics, and basic concepts of phylogeny, physiology, biotechnology, soil, food, and environmental microbiology while working in laboratory. Laboratory Methods in Microbiology and Molecular Biology is an informative update to current practices and future perspectives for the field of microbial biotechnology. It aims to facilitate professors, researchers, and graduate students in monitoring the precision and accuracy of the qualitative and quantitative methods in their research. Involves various procedures in diverse disciplines, from microbiology to genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry Lists the principles and facts underlying practical applications of bacteria and fungi which have prospects in various technologies Includes the questions 'how' and 'why' as an explanation for novice students and researchers to modify protocols Facilitates students, teachers and researchers to monitor the precision and accuracy of their qualitative and quantitative methods practically."--Provided by publisher |

| Notes |
Dr. Salwan is currently an Assistant Professor (Microbiology) at the College of Horticulture and Forestry (Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry), Neri, Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, India. Dr. Salwan's research interests and contributions are on the diversity of psychrotrophic bacteria from the Western Himalayas and their utilization for industrial applications. She has also worked on the exploration of extremophiles for industrially relevant enzymes and plant beneficial microbes for agricultural benefits. Dr. Vivek Sharma is currently an Assistant Professor at the University Centre for Research and Development at Chandigarh University, Mohali (PB). He has more than 12 years of research experience exploring molecular attributes of Trichoderma. His research also involves examining the molecular aspects of microbes beneficial to plants such as Streptomyces, and Bacillus |
