About this book
Interest in the field of microbial toxins is ever growing and spreading across a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. In an effort to supplement the available reference texts on toxins, Microbial Toxins: Methods and Protocols includes protocols on mold fungus toxins, with some focus on aflatoxins. Intended to support a wide variety of researchers, Microbial Toxins: Methods and Protocols presents the reader with biological, chemical, physical, and medical approaches, as well as state-of-the-art research techniques. Divided into three convenient sections, this detailed volume covers bacterial protein toxins, endotoxins, and mold fungus toxins. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters contain introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and accessible, Microbial Toxins: Methods and Protocols seeks to serve both professionals and novices with its well-honed methodologies in an effort to further our knowledge of this essential field.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“Provides detailed step-by-step protocols for a wide variety of techniques related to microbial toxin detection and characterization. The protocols are easy to follow and are very well supported by key references … extensive explanatory notes and troubleshooting advice. … most of them could be readily modified for your favourite microbe or target of choice. In this case the book will be a helpful reference for those wishing to introduce these or related methods to their laboratory. … this book is most suitable for institutional purchase.” (Gavin Paterson, Microbiology Today, February, 2012)Editors and Affiliations
