Hydrocarbon and Lipid Microbiology Protocols Microbial Quantitation, Community Profiling and Array Approaches

This Volume presents methods for quantifying microbial populations and characterising microbial communities by extracting and analysing biomarkers such as RNA, DNA and lipids. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including: cell separation from oil-rich environments, enumeration of hydrocarbon...
