Springer Protocols Handbooks

This volume details techniques involved in the study of endosymbionts. Chapters divided into four sections detail isolation, maintenance of diverse endosymbionts, classical microscopy, staining, PCR, FISH, flow cytometry, next-generation sequencing, endosymbionts, metabolites, and bacterial endosymbionts in insects. Step-by-step protocols are complemented by personal notes, precautions, and specifying the reagents to be used in each step to ensure the repeatability of the procedure across labs. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Endosymbionts aims to empower researchers to expand the frontiers of endosymbiosis research and unlock new possibilities for science.
