Bacteriophages: Methods and Protocols
My colleague at the University of Leicester, Dr Martha Clokie, has recently co-edited a two-volume book on how to work with bacteriophages. Ranging from the evolution of pathogenicity to oceanic carbon cycling, the many and varied roles that bacteriophages play in microbial ecology and evolution have inspired increased interest within the scientific community. The book pulls together the vast body of knowledge and expertise from top international bacteriophage researchers to provide both classical and state-of-the-art molecular techniques, including laboratory protocols and a notes section which details tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Volume 1 “Isolation, Characterization, and Interactions” examines a number of topics, including the isolation of phages, morphological and molecular characterization, and interaction with bacteria. Volume 2 “Molecular and Applied Aspects” examines bacteriophage genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, along with applied bacteriophage biology.
