Plasmids: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series)

This work is designed to provide research workers with detailed protocols for studying bacterial plasmids, and for using both plasmids and phagemids as vectors. The techniques for studying plasmid replication and maintenance are described in detail, as are fundamental methods for purifying plasmids and for introducing them into cells. Also included are protocols for mutagenesis, and for analyzing plasmid-encoded products. Other chapters focus on techniques for studying plasmids and for using plasmid vectors in particularly important groups of bacteria - animal and plant pathogens harbouring virulence plasmids, streptomyces and lactococci. Plasmid composite vectors and phagemids of various kinds are useful for expression, cDNA cloning and other genetic manipulations. The protocols for using them, as well as important yeast shuttle vectors are described in detail.

BACTERIAL FISH PATHOGENS SEE 2/ED (Ellist Horwood Books in Water and Was

This work is about the biological aspects of the bacterial taxa which cause diseases in fish. Diseases are considered in the context of the environment of the fish and of water, and coverage includes aspects of the microbiology of water and fish. Information on the structure of fish is added to familiarize readers with general fish anatomy. The scope of the book covers all the bacterial taxa which have been reported as fish pathogens, and the material is sub-divided for easy reference into sections which deal with characteristics of the diseases, isolation methods, characterization of the pathogens, diagnosis, epizootiology, pathogenicity mechanisms and control. This text is written by bacteriologists for an audience of fellow microbiologists. It tabulates the identification procedures, characteristics of pathogens and characterization of the diseases and their control. A detailed bibliography concludes each chapter. The book concentrates on farmed fish rather than wild stocks for economic and commercial reasons.

Microbial Megaplasmids (Microbiology Monographs)

Megaplasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements in the size range of 100 kb and larger. They are found in physiologically and phylogenetically diverse groups of bacteria and archaea. By definition, megaplasmids are not essential for the viability of their hosts under all growth conditions, but paradoxically many megaplasmids carry the genetic information for the defining and characteristic traits of the organism in which they reside. Microbial Megaplasmids reviews our knowledge of the extensively studied representatives, such as the catabolic plasmids of the pseudomonads, the rhizobial Sym plasmids, the Ti plasmids of the genus Agrobacterium and the giant enterobacterial virulence plasmids. It also presents snapshots of more recently discovered megaplasmids. The contribution of megaplasmids to the biology of their hosts is described, highlighting the interactions between megaplasmid and chromosomal genes.

Bacterial and Bacteriophage Genetics

Genetic investigations and manipulations of bacteria and bacteriophage have made vital contributions to our basic understanding of living cells and to the development of molecular biology and biotechnology. This volume is a survey of the genetics of bacteria and their viruses, and it provides students with a comprehensive introduction to this rapidly changing subject. The book is written for upper level undergraduates and beginning graduate students, particularly those who have had an introductory genetics course. The fifth edition has been extensively revised to reflect recent advances in the field. The book now has a reader-friendly look, with end-of-chapter questions, "Thinking Ahead" and "Applications" boxes to challenge students’ comprehension and insights. A complete glossary of commonly used terms has been revised and expanded.

Immunological Techniques in Microbiology (Soc Applied Bacteriology)

In recent years there have been many technical developments in immunology that have potential or actual applications in many other branches of the life sciences. These developments include a number of ultrasensitive systems for the detection and assay of a wide range of biological materials, including micro-organisms and their products, as well as techniques for isolating and purifying micro-organisms and other antigenic materials. Two developments in particular have greatly extended the scope and applicability of immunological methods. These are the production of monoclonal antibodies and the introduction of enzyme linked immunoassay as a simple, safe and economical alternative to radioimmunoassay. This book is based on information gathered at the Society for Applied Bacteriology Autumn Demonstration Meeting held at the South Bank Polytechnic, London on October 15th, 1986.

Bacterial Protein Toxins (Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology)

In recent years remarkable progress has been accomplished with respect to our knowledge about bacterial protein toxins. This refers especially to structural aspects of protein toxins but also holds true for genetics, molecular biology and biochemical mechanisms underlying the action of toxins. This volume covers the very current and exciting aspects of up-to-date bacterial toxicology and comprehensively reviews the most important bacterial protein toxins such as the intracellular acting toxins which exhibit enzyme activity, as well as those toxins that interact with cell plasma membranes by damaging the membranes (pore formation) or stimulating cell receptors (superantigens). This is the most current reference work on these important bacterial protein toxins, which are presented from the point of view of different disciplines such as pharmacology, microbiology, cell biology and protein chemistry.
